Gordon Strong Automobile Objective, Unfinished building in Dickerson, United States.
The Gordon Strong Automobile Objective features circular architecture with large glass windows designed to offer panoramic views of Maryland's landscape.
Frank Lloyd Wright created this architectural design in 1924 for Gordon Strong, intending it to serve as an observation point and restaurant on Sugarloaf Mountain.
The structure represents the early 20th century's integration of automobile accessibility with architectural design, promoting nature appreciation through modern transportation.
The location remains accessible to architectural researchers and students who study Wright's unrealized projects and their influence on modern design principles.
The building plans incorporated a spiral form that would allow vehicles to drive directly onto the roof, creating an unprecedented fusion of automobile and architectural space.
