Frank L. Smith Bank : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frank L. Smith Bank
The Frank L. Smith Bank, also known as the First National Bank of Dwight, is a bank building in Dwight, Illinois, United States that was designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright's earliest designs for the building date to 1904, but it was constructed in 1905 and opened in 1906. The design of the bank building deliberately rejects the classical influences common at the time, and is meant to evoke an air of simple dignity. ==History==
Frank Lloyd Wright's early designs for the Smith Bank date to 1904. The building, located in downtown Dwight, Illinois, was constructed in 1905 to a Wright design.〔 Wright designed the bank building to house the real estate office and bank of Frank L. Smith, a prominent local citizen and baseball player who once faced Ty Cobb.〔 Smith had decided that his real estate clients needed a simple and convenient way to obtain financing, so he founded the bank and hired Wright as the architect.〔Heinz, ''The Vision of Frank Lloyd Wright'', p. 293.〕 The bank opened for business in 1906.〔"First National Bank of Dwight: Frank Lloyd Wright Architect," (Brochure), ''First National Bank of Dwight''.〕 Wright was closely involved during design and construction, even down to the smallest details. Letters, exchanged between Wright and Smith, show that Wright was directly involved with the design of the interior and furnishings. The letters show that Wright's final decision was implemented in most cases, though some of his changes caused delays.〔Hanks, David A. ''The Decorative Designs of Frank Lloyd Wright'' ((Google Books )), Courier Dover Publications: 1999, p. 23, (ISBN 0-486-40730-6). Retrieved 29 September 2007.〕
