| Discussion | Unitarian Meeting House Commentary
"The structure is unitarian in character, trusting to a sense of the altogether as more beautiful than the aggregation of the steeple, meeting house and parsonage could ever be. In this design, the social activities of the members of the congregation are served by the Church Auditorium itself." "...It is the mass of the structure that is depended upon to give the impression of aspiration usually left to the steeple." — Frank Lloyd Wright. "Frank Lloyd Wright", The Architectural Forum, January, 1948, Vol 88 Number 1. p119. Details Address: —Thomas A. Heinz. Architectural Monographs No. 18: Frank Lloyd Wright. p141. | ||||
