A.D. GERMAN WAREHOUSE

Preserve the Warehouse

The AD German Warehouse Conservancy, Inc. (ADGWC) was established in September of 2013.  ADGWC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the restoration of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed AD German Warehouse (National Register of Historic Places 1974).  We are committed to see this building redeveloped and occupied with a stable primary use compatible with the building and a heritage tourism program.
