S2E38: The Frank Lloyd Wright Murder House

Bizarre Buffet

Frank Lloyd Wright is easily one of the most famous and influential architects that has ever lived. Some of his most notable creations being the Ennis House (can be seen in House on Haunted Hill, Blade Runner, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more), The Guggenheim Museum in New York City, Falling Water in Pittsburgh, PA....the list goes on and on.

Aside from the incredible work designed by Wright, a lesser known element of this famous architects life is that he has his very own place amongst True Crime history...

In August of 1914 while away on business, tragedy would strike at Wrights famous Taliesen home where he had resided. A hired caretaker by the name of Julian Carlton would brutally murder Wrights wife Mamah Borthwick, along with her children and others present that day...seven people in total, before setting the home abalze. This story became known as one of the worst mass murders in Wisconsin history.
