Artistic rendering of Gordon Strong Automobile Objective using graphite and colored pencil on Japanese paper.
Gordon Strong, who bought up most of the land on and around Sugarloaf Mountain and preserved it for perpetual public use, almost hired Frank Lloyd Wright to build an “Automobile Objective” at the top of the mountain. This was to be a destination for people from Baltimore and Washington, D.C., to come by automobile to visit a planetarium, restaurant and scenic overlook. Wright’s plans called for a circular structure, which he went on to recycle in his design for the Guggenheim Museum. You can read more about this project that never came to be on the Library of Congress website.
