Wingspread, Prairie School residence in Wind Point, US.
The 14,000-square-foot Wingspread features a central hub with four extending wings, topped by a 30-foot chimney with clerestory windows.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residence between 1938 and 1939 for Herbert Fisk Johnson Jr., the president of S.C. Johnson Corporation.
The Johnson Foundation transformed the residence into a conference center in 1959, hosting discussions that led to the creation of National Public Radio.
The conference center sits on 36 acres of landscaped grounds, located 35 minutes from Milwaukee and 90 minutes from Chicago by car.
Five fireplaces on three levels occupy the central brick chimney, serving as gathering spots for international conference attendees since 1960.
