Guest Editor: John H. Waters, AIA

The Conservancy has been engaged in advocacy to preserve Wright's vacant and deteriorating 1903 Walser House in Chicago for several years. This issue explores the house's history, local context, and the significance of its design, and sounds a note of optimism by examining preservation successes at similar Wright designs.
