Help Save Unity Temple

In July 2011, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced thst it would propose Unity Temple and ten other Frank Lloyd Wright buildings for nomination to the prestigious World Heritage List.

Of the more than 1,100 buildings that Frank Lloyd Wright designed, and the 500 that were built, Wright singled out Unity Temple as his "contribution to modern architecture." Unity Temple was Wright's first public commission and his first sacred space. It is the last-surviving public building from his legendary Prairie period.
