1925: Barbara Bush, wife of President George H.W. Bush, the 41st president, was born.
1867: Frank Lloyd Wright was born in Richland Center, Wisconsin. Widely regarded as America's most significant architect, Wright transformed 20th century residential design; his influential Prairie School houses and plans for public buildings proved simultaneously innovative, aesthetically striking, and practical. A social visionary, Wright's commitment to a context-driven "organic architecture," which harmonized with both its occupants' needs and the surrounding landscape, underscored his creative genius across a long and productive career.
