Interesting quote from Wright. Though I never thought of Wright as trying to
go mass market he clearly understood what the technology could do. I'd think
today's wonder machine, i.e., the one that brings variety to the masses,
would be the CNC machines. With CNC the masses can afford fancy looking
stuff like Chippendale, Queen Anne, etc...

1901 is pretty early for Wright, before the Larkin Building and Unity
Temple. He was just developing the Prairie Style and mainly building
private homes.
