Romeo and Juliet Windmill, Historical windmill in Wyoming, United States
The Romeo and Juliet Windmill features an octagonal base structure intersecting with a diamond-shaped upper portion, creating a distinctive architectural composition.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this wooden windmill in 1896 for his aunts Jane and Ellen Lloyd Jones to supply water to their Hillside Home School.
The structure received its name from the relationship between its two geometric forms, with Romeo representing the diamond shape and Juliet the octagonal base.
Located at coordinates 43.14153 latitude and -90.07091 longitude, the windmill stands within the Taliesin estate, which receives 25,000 visitors annually.
The windmill underwent renovation in 1938, replacing its original shingle cladding with cypress board and batten materials to preserve its structural integrity.
