COME TO CLEVELAND on Saturday, April 9, 2011 and experience Frank Lloyd Wright’s lasting legacy in Northeast Ohio. Highlights of the spring Out and About Wright will include three Usonian/mid-century gems: Dobkins House (1953); Penfield House (1953); Staley House (1950).

Once home to a thriving manufacturing industry, Cleveland has re-emerged along the banks of Lake Erie as a center for art and architecture. The city, which has recently seen such landmark construction as the I. M. Pei-designed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is also the locus of several Frank Lloyd Wright works in Northeast Ohio. On Saturday, April 9, Out and About participants will be taken on tours of at least three of these Usonian/mid-century gems: the Dobkins House (1953); the Staley House (1950); and the Penfield House (1953), owned by the son of the original client. The day will also include tours of several other architecturally significant and engaging buildings by Keck & Keck and Arthur 'Marko' Marks.

In addition to the Saturday tour, there will also be a special reception for Leadership Circle members at the Weltzheimer-Johnson House (1948) on Friday, April 8 as well as a bus tour of downtown Cleveland on Sunday, April 10.
