🏠 RESTORATION UPDATE! 🏠

One shingle at a time, the Model C3 Bungalow on Frank Lloyd Wright's Burnham Block is returning to its 1916 appearance.

We're excited to share the latest progress on this remarkable restoration project. Every shingle installed and every detail restored brings us one step closer to preserving an important piece of architectural history.

As our recent “Sign a Shingle” fundraiser reminded us, restoring the C3 is truly a community effort. You can still support the project by donating online at http://www.wrightinmilwaukee.org/join_give.html. Thank you for helping make this restoration possible!

What a perfect weekend on the Burnham Block! More than 2,000 people joined us during Doors Open MKE, bringing curious minds, generous hearts, and enthusiasm for Frank Lloyd Wright’s American System-Built Homes.

A heartfelt thank-you to our dedicated volunteers. Your time, teamwork, and warm hospitality made the weekend possible.

We were also thrilled by the response to our spontaneous “Sign a Shingle” fundraiser supporting the restoration of the Model C3 bungalow. Seeing visitors add their names and messages was a wonderful reminder of the community supporting this important project.

Enjoy a few photos from the weekend, and stay tuned for more updates on the C3 restoration!
