More than sixty years after his death, Frank Lloyd Wright remains a highly influential architect, and in 2025 his legacy continues to generate news. This article from Artnet News compiles eight recent stories about Wright's buildings, including Marc Jacobs' restoration of the Max Hoffman House, Loyola University's acquisition of the Emil Bach House, the contested sale of Oklahoma's Price Tower, and the deteriorating condition of the J.J. Walser Jr. House in Chicago. It also notes a fictional Wright-inspired building appearing in the Apple TV+ series *The Studio*, starring Seth Rogen.

frank lloyd wright walser house foreclosure 2730213

Frank Lloyd Wright's Walser House, a rare Prairie-style home in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, is returning to market after being acquired by Fannie Mae through foreclosure. The house has been vacant and neglected since 2019, when its long-time owner died, and requires an estimated $2 million in restoration work. A foreclosure sale in December 2025 failed when preservation advocates were priced out by a minimum bid of $240,000, well above the property's appraised value of $65,000. Fannie Mae now holds the title and is preparing the property for listing, offering a potential path to new ownership.
