SPRING GREEN â Peter Rott knows his way around buildings designed or inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Rott was the project architect in the 1990s during the construction of the Monona Terrace convention center in Madison. Heâs now working on restoration efforts of the A.D. German Warehouse, the only warehouse designed by Wright and constructed between 1917 and 1921 in downtown Richland Center, Wrightâs hometown.
Rott spent eight years studying at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin just south of Spring Green, but to get into the prestigious school he needed to be interviewed by Wrightâs third and final wife, Olgivanna. This was 1978, and Rott, who grew up on the other side of the Wisconsin River between Spring Green and Lone Rock and graduated from River Valley High School, was one of the rare students from the area to apply to the School of Architecture.
