Marion Mahony and Millikin Place presents for the first time the whole exciting development of Millikin Place in Decatur, Illinois, a remarkable private street, with houses by Marion Mahony and Frank Lloyd Wright, and landscaping by Walter Burley Griffin. As Paul Kruty explains, “The history of Millikin Place is the personal story of Marion Mahony and Walter Griffin. The chain of events set in motion in September 1909, when Mahony agreed to complete Frank Lloyd Wright’s buildings while he was abroad for a year, not only brought Walter and Marion together in Decatur, but it soon led to their marriage, and later to the extraordinary Rock Crest/Rock Glen commission in Mason City, Iowa, and finally to Australia.”

Published in 2007 by the Walter Burley Griffin Society.  Out of print.
