Of course! The world famous FLW aged 66 enrolled in the architecture school at the University of Southern California to finish up that degree he dropped out of at UW Madison in 1886, leaving his newly formed Taliesin Fellowship in the capable hands of his wife Olgivanna. His earlier masterful efforts at Unity Temple and the Robie house were no match for the discriminating faculty of USC, who give Wright a "B" on his first studio project of the 1933 Fall semester.
For those picking this up on a search engine hit...I'M BEING SARCASTIC!

How credible is this? It looks like no Wright drawing I've ever seen, and Three Quarters of a Century of Drawings lists no commissions for 1933. I thought it might be Lloyd's, but it's not in Weintraub's chronology. Might it be John's?
The rendering is a student's project from the 1933 Fall semester at USC. FLW's sons were grown and in independent practice by 1933. This Wright is likely unrelated and the attribution is bogus.
