On June 11th HVHS will sponsor a tour of Teater’s Knoll, which is the Archie B. Teater Studio designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Teater’s Knoll is the only building designed by world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the state of Idaho. Teater’s Knoll, which is located on the edge of the Snake River also happens to be the only artist studio Wright designed that was actually built. Archie Teater (1901–1978), an Idaho native, was a prolific painter whose impressionistic landscape images and history paintings documented his experience of Idaho and the American West. New in the tour this year is a recently completed Japanese-style garden (picture right above) made from the same Oakley stone as the house. Henry Whiting, who is the owner of Teater’s Knoll, has graciously opened his home for this fund raiser for the the HVHS new building fund.
