Tokyo6 - Tokyo's Imperial
Hotel, designed by American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was
built between 1916 and 1923 and was supported by pilings. Native
lava stone from near Nikko as well as bricks and concrete were
used in the construction. It survived the Great Kanto Earthquake
with minor damage. Demolished in 1967, the front entrance,
lobby, and part of the facade were re-erected in Meiji Village
at Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture. A high-rise Imperial Hotel
replaced Wright's. This card is one in a series of twelve. |
