The world-renowned architect [[Frank Lloyd Wright]] was born in nearby [[Richland Center, Wisconsin]], studied in [[Madison, Wisconsin]], and spent summers and other times near Spring Green with his mother's family, the Lloyd-Joneses of Wyoming Valley. He became identified with Spring Green when he built the first [[Taliesin (studio)|Taliesin]] studio nearby in 1911 after leaving [[Oak Park, Illinois]], to live with [[Mamah Borthwick]], the wife of an erstwhile client. The disapproval of many area residents only intensified after a disastrous fire and the murder of Borthwick along with her children and several workmen in 1914.<ref>{{cite book|last=Drennan|first=William|title=Death in a Prairie House|year=2007|publisher=University of Wisconsin|location=Madison, Wisconsin|isbn=978-0-299-22210-9|pages=60–63, passim}}</ref> On the other hand, some Spring Green craftsmen were among Wright's most trusted and lifelong favorites.<ref>{{cite book|last=Wright|first=Frank Lloyd|title=An Autobiography|year=1977|publisher=Horizon Press|location=New York|isbn=0-8180-0222-0|pages=[https://archive.org/details/autobiography00fran_0/page/196 196–197, 209]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/autobiography00fran_0/page/196}}</ref>
