Wright designed Tan-y-Deri as a residence for his sister, Jane Porter, and her family. The Porters worked for the Hillside Home School, just downhill. Welsh for “under the oaks,” Tan-y-Deri sits on a hill adjacent to Taliesin and next to the Romeo and Juliet Windmill. The design was based on “A Fireproof House for $5,000” by Wright featured in a Ladies Home Journal article.

After the Porters left, Wright made use of Tan-y-Deri for himself and for the Taliesin Fellowship.

In the early 1900s, Wright’s entire body of work was on paper, and that knowledge needed to be protected. 📚Originally an exterior feature of Taliesin, this vault became enclosed behind a stone wall during one of the studio's exterior expansions.

It is a fireproof vault, which, for its time, meant that a lantern would not be kept inside. Instead, a lantern would be placed outside of the vault, behind the black shutters above Wright's desk, and a prismatic window within would magnify the light to illuminate the interior.
