Reverse Text: "Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium. Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona. This last large design of Frank Lloyd Wright produced a fine arts center which commands notice from the world. Completely circular in design, with two-level pedestrian bridges extending two hundred feet from either side, this magnificent view illustrates the success of the designer's hope that the structure would seem to say 'Welcome to Arizona'."Publisher: Petley Studios, Phoenix AZ; 79905 Type: Divided Back Size: Classic Sent: from camp Curry CA to San Antonio TX, 1967 |
