Richland County — Where Frank Lloyd Wright Began

Frank Lloyd Wright was born at Richland Center on June 8, 1867 — though he famously claimed throughout his life to have been born in 1869, shaving two years off his age. The precise birth house remains debated among historians, with seven possible locations identified within Richland Center's historic district. What is undisputed: Wright returned to his birth county in 1915 to design the A.D. German Warehouse at 316 S. Church Street — the only building in Mayan Revival style he ever designed, built as partial payment for a debt owed to merchant Alfred D. German. It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Richland County also has an unexpected corporate heritage: GTE (General Telephone and Electronics) — which later became part of Verizon — traces its origins to the Richland Center Telephone Company, founded in 1918 by three Wisconsin public utility accountants. The county's Driftless landscape holds 15 National Register properties and the Bloyer Mound Group — a well-preserved collection of bird effigy, lizard, bear, and linear mounds near the Wisconsin River dating to ancient Native American culture.
