The San Marcos world globe is a part of the Frank Lloyd
Wright CollectionŽ Globes.
In 1928, Frank Lloyd Wright began
creating a major remodeling project of the existing resort, the San
Marcos in the Desert Hotel on the outskirts of Phoenix. The project
was never completed due to the 1929 stock market crash, but the
building design and the interior renderings contain a variety of
interesting furniture and decorative features.
The adapted
stand of the
San Marcos world
globe showcases the 60 degree angled legs and the hexagonal
top of a small accent table. It was designed for the totally new special
Dining Pavilion, bordered by the garden terraces of the San Marcos in
the Desert Hotel, Chandler, Arizona. (Project revised 1936).
San Marcos world globe displays individual U.S. states.
