The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin County Civic Center is a national- and state-designated historic landmark. Wright's 770th commission, the Civic Center is the last and one of the most important works by this internationally acclaimed architect who has been described as "one of the most creative architectural geniuses of all time" and "the most original architect the United States has ever produced." It dramatically illustrates the kinship of Wright's architecture to the surrounding landscape, gracefully linking the crowns of three separate hills, and partially inside the hills, such as the jail. Frank Lloyd Wright died on April 9, 1959, at the age of 92, and did not see his vision completed. marincounty.org/Depts/CU/History
