Wright designed milk house facelift at Taliesin complex
The world’s only Frank Lloyd Wright milk house at Midway Farm near his Wisconsin home is being renovated in a 291000 dollar project. The work also revamps a dairy barn into apprentice housing and plans a maintenance shop for the Taliesin complex. The spire crowned cylindrical stone structure inspired later designs and linked to the Spring Green Restaurant. Burnett County supports a drought haylift and collection point at Siren Airport with donations coordinated by the county treasurer to aid farmers in need.
