White Pine, Michigan
White Pine MI is a company town that was built in 1954 around the White Pine Copper Mine, that operated until 1995 when it closed. Konteka was designed in 1955 by the noted Michigan Architect Alden Dow who spent the summer of 1933 visiting with Frank Lloyd Wright in Spring Green Wisconsin. You can see the influence of Wright's use of nature, structure, and building materials in Konteka as well as in many of Dow's architectural structures.
