It is the only FLW building in San Francisco and is a real fine example of his work. Tucked away down a small side street, Maiden Lane, it now houses an Art Gallery (the Xanadu Gallery). It was closed when I was there but the interior is supposed to be lovely also with many similarities to the curling ramps in the Guggenheim Museum which he was designing at about the same time.

Frank Lloyd Wright in San Francisco
To top off the cultural day in San Francisco, after the Frida Kahlo exhibit, I wandered over to this beautiful little building near Union Square designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
