Frank Lloyd Wright gem |

This futuristic fantasy by Frank Lloyd Wright was designed by the master in 1957 but constructed piecemeal over several years thereafter. Its latest claim to fame is its extended appearance in the sci-fi flick, Gattaca. The film was a godsend to this architectural masterpiece. Though the outside, with its sky-blue barrel arch and towering golden spire, was still compelling, the inside was in a sorry state of disrepair despite being the seat of Marin County's government. A self-guided tour (45-60 minutes) is available from the information window of the Administration Wing. Tours are free. Review © 2009, Wcities |
