Last summer, Taliesin West in Scottsdale and Taliesin in Wisconsin were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

That’s led to more visitors to Frank Lloyd Wright’s properties, which officials welcome.

But more visitors also means more upkeep and maintenance.

Fred Prozzillo is vice president of Preservation for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, where he oversees preservation at both the architect’s Arizona and Wisconsin homes.

He joined The Show to talk about those efforts and some of the items on the foundation’s 2020 to-do list.
