HISTORIAN’S CORNER: August 24
Taliesin Preservation’s historian Keiran Murphy’s weekly round-up of noteworthy FLLW resources.
On December of 2017, an unexpected find occurred at Taliesin: Two windows in the main guest bedroom of the house. While working in the rooms, Taliesin Preservation crew member John Jensen was clearing away drywall in one area when he noticed a wooden window frame. He carefully removed the drywall to reveal the complete windows which look from an alcove off the living room into the guest bedroom. (Photographs courtesy of Taliesin Preservation staff. The color photograph on the right was specifically taken by Aron Meudt-Thering.)
