They lived and worked with him at Taliesen, his Wisconsin home. They were not only unpaid, many of them paid Wright for the privilege of slaving for him, not just schlepping coffee, but often at labor that had nothing to do with architecture. His "interns" were expected to muck out the stables, do basic farmhand work, wash dishes, or anything else Wright or his wife directed them to do. Most of them were the children of wealthy parents.
