THE WRIGHT APP When con-
sidering iconic structures in the county,
most would agree the Marin County
Civic Center tops the list. People are
drawn to the place for a number of
reasons — its aesthetic appeal, its cin-
ematic past, its administrative role as
source of permits and
marriage certificates.
Recognizing these
varied interests, the Marin County
Department of Cultural Services, in
partnership with the Department of
Information Services and Technology,
created a mobile app to help users find
whatever they’re looking for. Available
in English and Spanish, the app includes
vintage and recent photos (including
360-degree views), drone videography,
and architectural plans, blueprints and
other historical information about ar-
chitect Frank Lloyd Wright in Marin. It’s
available for download now in the App
Store and Play Store. Here are some
numbers on the memorable edifice. K.P.
