Lukas Ruecker at the Bagley House

Safina Uberoi, President of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy board, and Lukas Ruecker became stewards of Wright’s Tonkens House in Cincinnati in In they added Wright’s Bagley House () in Hinsdale, Illinois to their Wright portfolio when they bought &#; and likely saved &#; the house which faced demolition, possibly so another “McMansion” could be built.

The house has had numerous owners and alterations but its bones are important as one of Wright’s first designs after he left Adler & Sullivan the year before.
