BOY ASKED FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT TO DESIGN HIM A DOG HOUSE – AND HE DID

Letter received by Frank Lloyd Wright, asking him to design a dog house –
Courtesy of Marin County Civic Center
Designer of some of the most celebrated buildings in American history—including
Falling Water and the Guggenheim Museum—Frank Lloyd Wright, as it turns out,
helped fulfill the housing needs of other animals too.
In 1956, a 12-year-old boy asked the famous architect if—seeing as he was
already designing a house for his family, the Bergers—the great designer
wouldn’t be troubled to include a dog house to go with it.
Penning a reply, Wright said building a dog house for Eddie the Labrador
retriever was an “opportunity,” but that on account of a packed schedule, young
Jim Berger would have to wait about 18 months.
Marin County Civic Center
Jim was the son of Robert and Gloria, who had recently contracted Wright to
build them one of his “Usonian style” homes for the American family.
Just as he had intended, Wright got around to the “opportunity” and provided
plans for the four-square-foot doghouse the next year, written on the back of an
envelope and at no charge.
The triangular structure was designed in keeping with the main house and
included signature Wright details, such as the low-pitched roof with exaggerated
overhang. Wright even suggested that Jim use scrap pieces of Philippine mahogany
and cedar left over from the home’s original construction.
The youth never got around to building it, but eventually his brother and father
built the doghouse, only to find that Eddie never used it and preferred to sleep
inside where it was warmer. The roof leaked too, which was somewhat typical of
Wright’s work. This led Jim’s mother Gloria to toss the thing in the landfill.

But in 2010, the documentary Designed by Frank featured Jim and his brother
rebuilding the doghouse according to the original plans, and, after they were
finished, they donated it to Marin County for display at another of Wright’s
buildings, the Marin County Civic Center.

Displayed only briefly, it was placed in storage in 2016, but the people who saw
it never forgot, and so as of late May, the smallest building he ever designed
is now on permanent display inside the largest existing building he ever
designed.

“The people love it,” Libby Garrison of the Marin County Department of Cultural
Services, told the Marin Independent.

“We are a pet-loving community and I think it’s an intimate kind of lovely
building and I feel like it tells a bigger Frank Lloyd Wright story. The
doghouse adds further dimension to Frank Lloyd Wright in Marin County, and it’s
a fun family story.”
