Photograph, Experience, and Stay in the Last Remaining Hotel Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Join internationally published architecture and travel photographer Andrew Pielage at the Historic Park Inn Hotel in Mason City, Iowa for a photo workshop experience truly like no other!

This 3-day workshop includes a tour and exclusive interior and exterior photography access not usually given at each of the three Wright sites:

HISTORIC PARK INN HOTEL [Sunrise Shoot]

Frank Lloyd Wright designed only six hotels, all of which were created between 1908 an 1923. Five were built; the Park Inn is the second and the only one that survives[1]. It can be found in the National Registry of Historic Places. HPIH website

Included in the workshop is a 60-min. professionally guided tour led by Wright on the Park.

STOCKMAN HOUSE [Sunset Shoot]

A prime example of Wright’s Prairie School style, it is a compact Foursquare design with appendages on opposite sides for an entrance foyer and a veranda. The Stockman House is a stucco- over-frame construction, unlike the original Fireproof House which was to be constructed with reinforced concrete. Stockman House website

Included exclusively with this workshop group is a private tour and the rare opportunity to photograph the interior of the house, this is NOT permitted with any other group tour or private tour.

WALTER HOUSE/QUASQUETON/CEDAR ROCK [Sunset Shoot]

At Cedar Rock, Wright realized the dream of Mr. and Mrs. Walter, to show the world that something of distinct architectural beauty, simplicity, and sophistication could be created and enjoyed in Iowa. Cedar Rock is one of just 24 signature properties designed by Wright. Cedar Rock website

Included in the workshop is a private tour led by Cedar Rock.
