Frank Lloyd Wright's Frederick Bogk House (1916) 

I was disappointed when this video ended. I could have enjoyed five more hours of interview with this fine woman and showing us more about the home. She’s definitely leaving a legacy behind with her accomplishments.

Thank goodness for people like Barbara. What an extraordinary women! What a beautiful house!

An amazing piece of architectural history. Thank you for sharing the documentary, excellent work MCHS. All the best.

The best hour I spent in ages! Truly she is one of the few most incredible women of the twentieth century.

Truly Incredible Documentary. Thank you so much for sharing. I had seen a handful of pictures and reproductions of drawings for the Bogk House over the years but had no idea. So amazing How great Art can inculcate great taste in people who are open to receive the Inspiration. Mrs. Elsner likely would have found her calling similar whether her and her husband had purchased the house or not. So many happy coincidences that they did. And the fact that the collaboration that existed between Frank Lloyd Wright and the Bogks has continued through the stewardship of the property by the Elsners (even in spite of the unfortunate fact of Wright not having taken the time to meet the Elsners and posthumously). As well as to generally being the impetus for a veritable diaspora of good works. Truly an incredible woman. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and all of us passionate about Frank Lloyd Wright and historic preservation (Our collective cultural heritage) in general are so much the better for her and her husband. thank you again.

Beautiful story and documentary. Thank you.

This is an absolutely fantastic video, and I thank you for it. Terrific interviews, content, editing....thank you so much!

Indeed a wonderful woman to come along to grasp the historical history of Frank Lloyd Wright. And to dedicate her life to future generations to realize that great Architecture is everything. That and kindness. God bless.

what a beautiful house !!

Great documentary!

Well done! That applies to everyone involved in the production of this video. Thank you!

Excellent program. Thank you

❤ Beautiful video history. That was just awful to hear that. Somebody wanted to take the windows out . Sell the windows. It's terrible to hear that .❤

The tiles are Ludowici tiles. I successfully repaired a porch of these tiles originally built 1914. The glazed quarry tiles are not available, but we altered the cosmetics of new tiles and used custom glaze to obtain the green verde of the porch trivets.

Amazing lady, I'm sure her family are very proud of her accomplish !

Web technologies help us now mix all kind of interests, such iconic locations might become cycling races datings as well, discovering hidden beauties out there in the deep America pushing pedals is... heavenly bliss friends. A genius architect is not only a guy gifted to build up spectacular structures, but a huge inspiration of life, a new point of view, a new way on managing the inner resources. Most people is not used to dig deep in their inner feelings to pull out spectacular things.. well, I do believe, any single individual is holding within a huge treasure, just willing to let it surface and shine like a diamond 🎉❤🎉

Perhaps Wright’s only true interest was aspect-situating a building as an object in a landscape. To that end he ignored conventional notions of human comfort, like light, space, and accommodation, and instead played with “features” that actually restrict occupants’ freedom. What a drag.
