Dr. Wright, 66, counts himself one of the fortunate exceptions to the general retirement practice: professional men, such as physicians and lawyers, and the self-employed, such as small businessmen and farmers, can go on working as long as they want.

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1916 and 1921 in a style that combined the most extravagant features of Mayan and Oriental architecture, the yellow-brick stone-trimmed structure played host to visiting celebrities from Babe Ruth, Will Rogers and Albert Einstein to honeymooning Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio.
