16 AIA IDAHO ARCHITECTURE | 2020-21 | www.aiaidaho.com Two people of significance Henry was able to meet were Tom Casey and Olgivanna Wright. Tom Casey was a Wright apprentice during the design of Teater’s Knoll and Olgivanna Wright was Frank Lloyd Wright’s widow. Both people had fond memories of Uncle Alden, and Henry again welled up talking about the experience of meeting both of them. Without Teater’s Knoll, Henry surely wouldn’t have met either of these people. As we continued to talk, Henry radiated as he detailed the countless dinner parties, visitors, projects, trips, experiences, and relationships he built over the years in and around Teater’s Knoll and other Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. The home’s interior is visually stunning, filled with art, furniture, and decor that complements and enhances every inch of the space. Some of the furniture pieces are one-of-a-kind hand-built works constructed from original Frank Lloyd Wright’s plans by Henry and one of his friends, a Sun Valley craftsman. Much of the sculpture was created by Henry’s late wife, artist and sculptor Lynn Fawcett Whiting. As we toured the space, Henry described Lynn as someone who floated through life, living every day as if it were an art form. Henry described life with Lynn as joy, surprise and delight. We would all be so lucky to have someone like that in our lives — the perfect metaphor for life itself. Seeing and experiencing this impressive building was a treat, for sure. Making a new friend and being reminded of the importance of and impact architecture can have on life was an experience I will always remember. b  — continued from page 15
