Harold Turner was an accomplished contractor and builder who worked under Frank Lloyd Wright for six years from 1936 to 1942. Traveling around the U.S. for Wright, Turner built some of Wright’s largest and most impressive residential structures including the Hanna House in Palo Alto, California; the Rebhuhn House in Great Neck, NY; the Goetsch-Winkler house in Okemos, MI; the Suntop Homes in Ardmore, PA; the Armstrong House in Ogden Dunes, IN; the Christie House in New Jersey; Affleck House in Bloomfield Hills, MI; and the Wall House in Plymouth, MI. After settling in Michigan permanently after World War II Turner began designing and building impressive organic style houses in the Wrightian mold. Throughout the late 1940s and into the 1950s Turner’s style evolved from his earliest designs, which were stylistically very similar to Wright’s, into a mature style that carved out a unique design aesthetic from the design principles he learned while working with Wright. This presentation explores his life and work in Michigan.
