I suggest looking up on the internet how the president of the college contacted Wright in the 1930’s to begin the collaboration. Florida Southern is the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in the world. The Annie Pfeiffer Chapel was the first, of many, Frank Lloyd Wright buildings at Florida Southern College. It was completed in 1941 and features a wire structure at the top that is nicknamed “God’s Bicycle Rack”.
One of the many interesting features of the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel is the textile blocks along the front of the building, seen above. The bricks in this wall are made up of two L shaped blocks stacked on top of one another. Colored glass fills the space between the blocks.
Below is a picture that I took shortly after visiting the Usonian house. You can see the intricacy of the design. This is thanks, in part, to the students at Florida Southern College who donated their labor to the project. Note all the black squares on the outside of the chapel in the picture. They are NOT black. This is what they look like from inside the building!
The orientation of the wall along with the colored glass create a beautiful effect as the sun moves through the sky. Below is the view from inside the chapel.
