Frank Lloyd Wright was born Frank
Lincoln Wright in the farming town of
Richland Center, Wisconsin, United
States, in 1867.
Wright attended Madison High School,
but there is no evidence he ever
graduated. He was admitted to the
University of Wisconsin–Madison as a
special student in 1886.There he joined
Phi Delta Theta fraternity,[6] took
classes part-time for two semesters,
and worked with a professor of civil
engineering, Allan D. Conover. In 1887,
Wright left the school without taking a
degree .
 Later he arrived in Chicago in search of
employment . Within days, and after
interviews with several prominent firms,
he was hired as a draftsman with the
architectural firm of Joseph Lyman
Silsbee. Wright previously collaborated
with Silsbee—accredited as the
draftsman and the construction
supervisor—on the 1886 Unity Chapel for
Wright's family in Spring Green,
Wisconsin.
 Feeling that he was underpaid for the quality
of his work for Silsbee (at $8 a week), the
young draftsman quit and found work as a
designer at the firm of Beers, Clay, and Dutton.

However, Wright soon realized that he was not

ready to handle building design by himself; he
left his new job to return to Joseph Silsbee—this
time with a raise in salary.
 After leaving Louis Sullivan, Wright
established his own practice on the top floor of
the Sullivan designed Schiller Building (1892,
demolished 1961) on Randolph Street in
Chicago. Wright chose to locate his office in the
building because the tower location reminded
him of the office of Adler & Sullivan.

of them were designed with other architects
and other were designed individually .
