New York City's all-glass towers became the standard in the 1950s with the UN building and the Seagram Building. But according to these forgotten plans from 1930, Frank Lloyd Wright would've done it 20 years earlier. He was commissioned to build 3 glass towers around St Mark's, but due to the Depression and waning support from the congregation, the project was abandoned.
In other news, St. Louis's Chipperfield Museum expansion is set to open this summer, and an Etsy seller will take your junk and make it jazzy. See the headlines after the jump.

He was truly an amazing man! I have seen several of his buildings and homes on-line, in magazines and on television. I really like the built-ins in the homes. Storage was used very well and concealed as furniture in some of them. Wish he could design a house for me!
