Flickr Find: The Wright Tile

There are a small number of Frank Lloyd Wright structures that have a red ceramic square tile bearing his initials. No one is entirely sure of the exact number of buildings displaying these tiles (or why they exactly they received them) but they are fun to see, nonetheless. check out photographer Hypno+Raygun's Flickr set of tile photos by following the link.

I recall reading that Wright started using the tiles later in his career, but the client only got one if they agreed to give him nearly full control over the structure, including materials, furnishings, etc. In a sense, it was his stamp that he fully-approved of the home's design.
