A deal to donate a controversial Frank Lloyd Wright home in Phoenix’s Arcadia neighborhood to Taliesin’s architecture school has been called off.

Zach Rawling, owner of the spiraling David and Gladys Wright House, agreed a year ago to donate the home to the school if $7 million could be raised to restore and run it. The house was built in 1952.

But a letter on the Wright House website says the School of Architecture at Taliesin and the David Wright House have “decided to proceed independent of one another” and the joint fundraising effort will be dissolved.
