Description: "Always an individualist, Frank Lloyd Wright never joined the American Institute of Architects. Nonetheless, the AIA recognized his immense contribution to American architecture by awarding him the AIA Gold Medal in 1949. AIA President Douglas William Orr presented the award to Wright at the AIA Convention in Houston, Texas, on the evening of Thursday, March 17, 1949. Wright’s speech to the packed banquet hall was broadcast by a local radio station. A limited number of 78 rpm records of the broadcast were produced."--Cf. AIA archived website.
