EP270: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Massacre

On a quiet hill in Spring Green, Wisconsin, the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright built his dream home — a sanctuary of design and serenity he called Taliesin. But on a warm August day in 1914, that dream turned to ash and blood. This is not just a story of architectural genius or personal tragedy. It’s a chilling tale of obsession, rage, and a massacre that shattered the peaceful facade of one of America’s most iconic homes. A servant with a hidden grudge… a fire with deadly intent… and seven people left brutally murdered, including the woman Wright loved most.SOURCES:1) "Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders" by William R.
