E. Thomas Casey, who became an apprentice of Wright's in 1950, died on Friday, Nov. 11. His obituary is in the The Arizona Republic.


Casey went on to work on most of the major buildings designed in Wright's final years, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York....



Casey supervised construction of several buildings in Iran, including the Pearl Palace in Tehran, and designed the Rocky Mountain National Park Visitors Center in Estes Park, Colo., recently named a National Historic Landmark.


A link from the National Park Service showing photographs of the visitor center is here. The photograph at the bottom of the page give the best view of the building's design.

I remember Tom and Effi giving us a tour of their little cottage. Sorry to hear of his passing.
