You Can Help Save Unity Temple

Unity Temple celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009. A modern masterpiece loved by an international audience, Unity Temple's future is threatened. In April 2009, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Unity Temple to its list of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Place in America. To return it to its early 20th glory, Unity Temple requires $20 to $25 million in restoration work. To stabilize the structure, an estimated $5-7 million is needed. Your support is key.

One of the most innovative and imaginative structures of the twentieth century, Unity Temple's defiance of convention, experimental use of concrete, and brilliant manipulation of light and space still inspire those who experience it. An international treasure, Unity Temple is Frank Lloyd Wright’s modern masterpiece, a bold reflection of the unique vision of America’s most famous architect. Its new ideas transformed architecture, and its timeless beauty and powerful legacy are now part of the world’s cultural heritage.

Unity Temple Restoration Foundation restores and preserves Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1909 masterpiece of modern architecture, Unity Temple. UTRF also advances Unity Temple’s global and contemporary significance with programming that embodies Wright’s spirit of innovation and enriches the lives of those it serves. UTRF reaches out to an international audience for support of its key restoration activities. Every gift -- no matter what size -- makes a difference.
