FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT (1867-1959)

Wright was born in Richland Center WI. His original middle name was Lincoln. From 1885 until 1887, he studied mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin but dropped out after only four semesters to work in the Chicago architectural practice of Joseph Lyman Silsbee. In 1887 Wright moved to work for Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan. After Sullivan caught him moonlighting on houses, Wright was fired. In 1893, Wright established his own office in Chicago.

Wright stood for the philosophy of "organic architecture," which maintains that a building should develop out of its natural surroundings. His designs for both private and public structures were boldly original, and he rebelled against classic architecture and its traditional ornamentation.

Wright initiated many new techniques such as the use of precast concrete blocks reinforced by steel rods. He introduced numerous residential innovations, including radiant floor heating. Besides architecture, Wright spent much of his time writing, lecturing, and teaching. 

Wright died in 1959 and unleashed a huge debate, still going on, about what constitutes a Wright house. Is it a house he personally designed and saw through to construction? Is it a house he designed but was built by Taliesin staff after his death? Is it a house he designed but was built later by others? And what about modifications - just how many and to what extent do design changes make a Wright-designed house simply Wright-inspired? 

Wright has been studied more than any other architect. With countless books, films, and dissertations, his brilliant career and turbulent personal life is well-documented. We focus here only on his houses. 

Wright was one of the greatest figures in 20th-century architecture, and because of his immense popularity he continues to be one of the only architects the average person can name. He was notoriously arrogant, and his late 1950's TV interview with Mike Wallace is a classic example. He was also on the 1950's TV showWhat's My Line. William Allin Storrer developed a numbering system which turned Wright-watching into a science.

Many thanks to Catherine Westergaard Cramer for her extensive research.

Wright visited NC State University's School of Design in 1950. He stayed overnight at the home of Dean Henry Kamphoefner. Photo from the NCSU yearbook, the Agromeck.

Wright, among many other unusual projects, designed a float for the 1957 Rose Bowl Parade.

In about 1904, Harlan traded houses with his neighbors, the Byrneses, who sold Wright’s structure in 1912. Vacant for years, it became a neighborhood hangout.

1923 - The Edward L. Doheny Ranch Development in what is now Beverly Hills CA. 411 acres. Commissioned 1922. Unbuilt. Wright may have prepared his design in the hope of gaining Doheny's interest, rather than as a response to a proposal request. The land was later developed as Trousdale Estates.

Wright's son Lloyd Wright supervised construction and did the landscape design. Storer sold the house in 1927.Rudolf Schindler's wife, Pauline, rented the house briefly, and the home's fifth owners, Charles and Helen Druffel, were living here by 1935. For the Drufffels, Wright made some alterations to the house to block out the homes on the hillside towering above theirs.

Sold in the 1960's to Jerome Jacobi. In 1969 he commissioned Lloyd Wright for a remodel that was unbuilt. By the early 1980s, the house had seriously deteriorated and was on the market for three years.

Nesbitt then had it altered by Wright, bottom photo, adding a pool on the north terrace, a billiard room on the ground floor, and a heating system. Nesbitt moved out in 1942 to a house designed for him by Richard Neutra. The eighth owner was Augustus O. (Gus) Brown who bought it in 1968. In 1980 he donated the house to what became the Ennis House Foundation. Featured in House on Haunted Hill, The Replacements, Blade Runner and many other films. 

Even before completion it had structural instability. More damage occurred due to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake and the record rain during 2004-2005. Basic shoring-up restoration work was completed in 2007 for $6.4 million. Was on the market for over two years. Sold in July 2011 to Ron Burkle. As part of the transaction, Burkle will provide some form of public access to the house a minimum of 12 days per year. The easement stipulates this access for future owners of the home as well.

1924 - Desert Dwelling for Frank Lloyd Wright, Death Valley CA. Unbuilt. Assumed to have been done in conjunction with his design for the Albert M. Johnson compound. He might have planned the studio as a personal retreat to be located on part of Albert Johnson's ranch, but this is speculation. Wright labeled the major space a "cool patio"; octagonal in shape, it was to contain a circular pool at its center with an oculus in the ceiling above.

1927 - The Darwin D. and Isabelle Martin Summer House, aka Greycliff, aka Jewel on the Lake, 6472 Old Lakeshore, Derby NY. Built overlooking Lake Erie. In 1926, a garage was added.

1928 - aka Ocatillo, Frank Lloyd Wright's Desert Compound and Studio, Salt Range near Chandler AZ. Destroyed. This was FLW's base while he was working on "San-Marcos-in-the-Desert" for Alexander Chandler. Wright was spending so much time in the desert that he built a small very rustic compound which had drafting rooms, sleeping quarters, and a kitchen. 

1928 - The Owen D. Young House, near Chandler AZ. Designed for one of Dr. Chandler's clients. This was another large-scale residence, and makes use of a most innovative variation on the regular grid system of the concrete blocks: they are turned on edge at 45 degrees. Many large rooms and ample guest facilities are provided for in this work, and the living room is treated like a solarium. The two homes as well as the hotel were designed for winter living only. The stock market crash of 1929 killed this project.

1928 - The Ralph and Wellington Cudney House, near Chandler AZ. Designed for two brothers, Dr. Chandler's clients. Designed on the 30-60 degree triangular motif. Everything conforms to this pattern of the triangle as an inherent design system of desert growth. It was to be a large house, with a two-story living room and wings extending out along an arroyo behind the house as an accommodation for guests. The stock market crash of 1929 killed this project.

1929 - The Richard Lloyd Jones House, aka Westhope, 3704 South Birmingham Avenue, Tulsa OK. The roof leaked from the very beginning. Aerial view from 1930. BW interiors by Thomas Heinz. Sold to Barbara Baxter.

 1929 - The Samuel and Harriet Freeman House, 1962 Glencoe Way, Los Angeles CA. Commissioned 1923. Wright's son Lloyd Wright supervised construction. Rudolf Schindler worked on the project and designed the furniture. As soon as Wright finished it, Harriet Freeman brought in Schindler, Richard Neutra and others to do repairs and modifications. She lived in the house until 1986, when she donated it to the University of Southern California School of Architecture which opened it for tours. From 1986 to 1997, architect Jeffrey Chusid lived in the house as steward for the University. In 2005, a stabilization project was completed using a $901,000 FEMA grant and $1.5 million in University funds. As of 2010, a full restoration still needed to be completed, due to earthquake damage. 

1933 - The Malcolm E. Willey House, 255 Bedford Street, Minneapolis MN.
Sold to Harvey Glanzer. Sold in 2002 to Steven Sikora.

1935 - The Edgar J. Kaufmann House, aka Fallingwater, Highway 381, Mill Run PA. Fallingwater is Wright's most famous residence; in fact many believe it is America's most famous residence except for Biltmore in Asheville NC. He designed a guest house in 1938 and an addition to the guest house in 1948. In 1963 Edgar Kaufmann Jr. donated it to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy who opened it for public tours in 1964. 

In 2001, the Conservancy launched an $11.5 million restoration project for major structural repairs; restoration of its wood furniture, steel sash windows, and doors; waterproofing of its flat roofs and terraces; the construction of an on-site zero-discharge waste management system; and an ambitious landscaping plan to improve the visitor experience while protecting the Fallingwater property. The structural repair to Fallingwater's main level was completed in March 2002. Second photo by Christopher Little, others by George Smart taken in 2007.

1937 - The Paul R. and Jean Hanna House, aka Honeycomb, 737 Frenchman's Road, Stanford CA. Commissioned 1936.

156 Sutton Road, Ardmore PA. Owned as of 2011 by Richard J. Sands.

 307 East Spring Avenue, Ardmore PA. Sold in 2000 to Paul and Mia Bloomfield.

The design was commissioned by Otto Tod Mallery of the Tod Company in 1938 to increase single-family dwelling density in the suburbs. In cooperation with Wright, the Tod Company secured a patent intending to sell development rights for Suntops across the country. The first (and only one) of the four original quadruple units planned for Ardmore was built in 1939, with the involvement of Wright's master builder Harold Turner, after initial construction estimates far surpassed the project budget. The design was based upon a series of four individual Usonian dwellings arranged together around a central point, in a pinwheel plan. Wright arranged the four units asymmetrical on the lot so that no unit looked directly at another (or any existing neighbor), thereby maximizing privacy and shared green space at the same time.

1939 - The Lewis N. Bell House, aka Hillcrown, Los Angeles CA. Unbuilt.

1939 - The Bernard and Fern Schwartz House, aka Still Bend,3425 Adams Street, Two Rivers WI. Sold in 1971 to second owners. Sold toGary Ditmer and Michael Ditmer, who have made itavailable for overnight stay.

1939 - The C. Leigh Stevens House and Plantation, aka Auldbrass, 7 River Road, Yemassee SC. Commissioned 1938. 315 acres. According to South Carolina Plantations, there was a fire which burned some of the outbuildings in 1952. In 1962, Stevens died and he gave Auldbrass to his son and daughter, Jessica Stevens Loring. She bought out her brother's share and moved in in 1971 to began extensive repairs. In 1976, the Lorings had Auldbrass nominated for the National Register of Historic Places. In 1979, due to the constant upkeep of all the buildings and land, the Lorings sold Auldbrass to Boise Cascade, a timber company. Almost immediately the land was sold to Westvaco Corporation. Westvaco sold the buildings and a small parcel of land to a group of local hunters and the property deteriorated. The hunters realized the buildings were not well-suited to hunting and tried to donate them to Clemson University. 

The Beaufort County Open Land Trust facilitated a conservation easement and the complex remained in bad shape until 1987 when Hollywood produder Joel Silver bought it. In 1988 he started to restore and finish Auldbrass the way Wright and Stevens planned, consulting with FLW grandson Eric Lloyd Wright.

Auldbrass Plantation is open to the public only two days every two years. Guest houses designed by Wright and adapted by Hilton Head SC architect Tom Crews will be built at some point. NCMH toured the complex in 2011, again in 2013, and again in 2015.

Around 1939 - The Martin Pence Project, Hilo HI. Unbuilt. Two drawings arrived in 1939, a plot plan showing the siting of house with entry road -- and a floor plan and exterior perspective looking up to the house over the pool. It was basically the Ralph Jester House plan except for the addition of a second bedroom in place of the Jester's outdoor breakfast area and the enlarging of the bathroom. The Pences loved the design, even with the novel circular beds and the compact kitchen. The estimate to build was $18,000. 

Based on his income, the Pence's had calculated that they could not go higher than $12,000. Two months later Wright sent a second plan - a compact, two-story design using hexagonal spaces upon a hexagon module. The Pence's didn't like proposal even if it would meet their budget, which was doubtful. Martin Pences regretfully sent Mr. Wright a check for $250, the fee agreed upon, and the project ended. The Pences kept copies of the two house plans. They sold their lot and purchased an existing home two lots west.

 1940 - The John C. and Ruth Pew House, aka the Poor Man's Fallingwater, 3650 Lake Mendota Drive, Shorewood Hills WI. Commissioned 1939. Sold in 1983. Sold in 2006 to Eliot Butler. 4th BW photo by Ezra Stoller/ESTO. Larger color photos by John Clouse. For sale 2013-2014.

 1940 - The Crystal City Project, aka Crystal Heights, Washington DC. Designed for DC's last large undeveloped tract, a 10-acre prarcel in the Temple Heights neighborhood of northwest Washington. The site included the area where the Hilton now sits and extended down Connecticut Avenue to Florida Avenue. Though commonplace now, its mix of commercial uses with residential was unprecedented in 1940. Fourteen closely spaced high rise towers included a 2,500 room hotel, retail space, apartment units, and an 1,100 seat theater. To accommodate cars, Wright tucked a parking structure behind the retail and under a terraced platform. The apartment towers were originally designed for another unbuilt project, St. Mark's Towers in New York City, which were later used in the design of the Price Tower in Oklahoma. Each duplex was identical with 2 upper level bedrooms opening onto the living room with approximately 800 square feet. The zoning board refused to give a variance allowing a commercial-residential mix for a residential zone and though the developer and Wright agreed to reduce the height, it is believed that it may have also been due to a dislike of modern architecture. The project was abandoned.

1940 - The Gregor S. and Elizabeth B. Affleck House,1925 North Woodward Avenue, Bloomfield Hills, MI. Top two BW photos by Wayne Andrews/ESTO. In 1980, the Michigan Society of Architects named the house as one of Michigan's 50 most significant structures.

1940 - The Theodore Baird House,38 Shays Street, Amherst MA. Photo by Wayne Andrews/ESTO. As of 2012, owned by Jean Hoffman.

1940 - The James B. Christie House,190 Jockey Hollow Road, Bernardsville NJ. Sold in 2009 to Michael P. and Louise A. McNally.

 1940 - The Clarence Sondern House, 3600 Belleview Avenue, Kansas City MO. Commissioned 1939. In 1948 it was sold to Arnold Adler who commissioned Wright for an addition. Sold in 2011 to James L. Blair. 

1940 - The John Nesbitt House, Carmel CA. Unbuilt. Nesbitt had already bought the 1924 Ennis house, so Wright did some renovations to that home instead. The entrance to this house was through a covered gateway, with parking at the side in a four-car carport. A large circular pool stood to the left of the doorway that led into the loggia. The main dining room was at the left of the interior garden, while directly facing out to the sea were long plates of full-length glass set back under a large overhang. On the ground floor were kitchen facilities, storerooms, wine rooms, silver, glass, and china rooms. Access to the main living area was by means of a hanging staircase in the centrally located enclosed garden. This dual living area is called "Great Hall and Sea Lounge."

1940 - The Franklin Watkins Studio-Residence, Barnegat NJ. Watkins was a successful American painter. The studio-residence that Wright designed was in the dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The lower level contains a covered carport to protect the vehicles against salt spray. Also on this level is a small kitchen and dining area, as well as a bedroom and bath. A stairwell at the entry connects to the upper level, which is goven over entirely to the studio with it tall windows, protective overhang, and balconies. Unbuilt.

1941 - The Arch and Eleanor Oboler Complex, aka Eaglefeather, 32436 West Mulholland, Malibu CA. Included several buildings. Commissioned 1940. The original design was perfect for a creative writer who also wanted to entertain. In the original plan, top photo, at the entrance level is a swimming pool with dressing-room facilities. Tucked into the core of the main masonry mass that rises and supports the house is a room called Secret Retreat, where Oboler could lock himself in and write. Above, a large living space allows each room to have access to a blacony terrace; and open well borders the stairway with a top llight above it. Desert masonry, composed of rocks placed in wooden forms and held in place with poured concrete, is the main stabilizing material for the house.

But this plan was not built.While preparing to build Eaglefeather Oboler decided first to build something smaller on that same property. He got Wright to design the gatehouse and retreat described above the year after Eaglefeather working drawings were finished. Both of those were built and the couple took up residence in them, with additions and extensions of the gatehouse until it became in its own right a major building. Eaglefeather was indefinitely postponed, the victim of delays and procrastination, until it was clear that Oboler had lost interest in it. 

In 1955, the couple had Wright design another small house on the 120-acre property, where the couple lived until Arch Oboler's death in 1987. The land was sold and sub-divided shortly after.

 1941 - The Loren and Charlotte Pope House, aka the Pope-Leighey House, 1005 Locust Street, Falls Church VA. Commissioned 1939. Pope and his family lived there until 1946. Sold to Robert and Marjorie Leighey in 1946. In 1961, it was condemned to make way for Interstate 66. Marjorie Leighey donated the home to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1964, along with $31,500 to help pay for the relocation. The home was dismantled, moved, and reconstructed on the property of Woodlawn Plantation, 9000 Richmond Highway, Alexandria VA, where it opened to the public in 1965. In 1995, the house was again relocated 30 feet to its present location. Guided tours daily.

1941 - The Roy Peterson House, Racine WI. Unbuilt.

1941 - The Carlton (Carl) D. Wall House, aka Snowflake, 12305 North Beck Road, Plymouth Township MI. In 1947, they added a 1000 sf bedroom wing.

Sold in the late 1980s.

1944 - The Herbert I. Jacobs House II, aka the Solar Hemicycle House, Old Sauk Road, Middleton WI. Top photo by Middleton Bernard Pyron. Bottom photo by Ezra Stoller/ESTO.

1944 - The Gerald M. Loeb House, aka Tenaya, Lonetown Road, Redding CT. Unbuilt. Photos by Ezra Stoller/ESTO. Loeb was the founding partner of EF Hutton. Mrs. Loeb was against the house in the beginning since they had already spent a fortune remodelling a barn. Gerald Loeb also made the error of using a local contractor for a construction estimate. Wright was unhappy as that contractor, like most, had not experience in modern. After five or six years of decision delays and Wright never getting paid his full fee, the project was scrapped. Wright and Loeb managed to remain friends. 

 1946 - The Amy Alpaugh Studio/Residence, 71 North Peterson Park Road, Northport MI.

 1946 - The Douglas Grant House, 3400 Adel Drive SE, Cedar Rapids IA. The home is at the top of a ridge, so while it appears to be one story, only the top floor is visible from the certain vantage points.

 1946 - The Chauncey Griggs House, 6816 79th Street West, Lakewood WA.

1945 - The V. C. Morris House,aka Sea Cliff, San Francisco, CA. Unbuilt. Located in the Sea Cliff area near the Golden Gate Bridge. Building of the Morris' Gift Shop on Maiden Lane, also by Wright, that caused constant delays. There was a second scheme done by Wright in 1955, rejected by the clients and also unbuilt. Ten years later they asked Wright to design a guest house on the same site. According to Frank Lloyd Wright: Principles and Form by Paul Laseau, this was also unbuilt. 

 1946 - The Alvin L. Miller House, 1107 Court Street, Charles City IA. Sold to Bruce Dietrich. Dick Young built an addition from plans originally drawn by Wright that the Millers never built.

1947 - The Alfred Bergman House, on the ocean at St. Petersburg FL. Unbuilt. This house developed out of a scheme designed first for Florida Southern College president Ludd M. Spivey.

1947 - The E. L. and Joyce Marting House, Northampton OH. Unbuilt. Earth bermed up on the north, the cold side of the house, keeps the interior warm in winter and cool in summer.

1947 - The Ayn Rand Studio and Residence. Unbuilt. Author Rand and Wright met briefly in Hollywood in 1943 as she was preparing to film "The Fountainhead." Wright's granddaughter, actress Anne Baxter, introduced them. In 1946 she contacted Wright about a house design and in 1947 she saw Wright at Taliesin. The project was scrapped, as she chose to live in New York City to be near literary friends and colleagues.

1947 - The Huntington Hartford House, Hollywood, CA. Unbuilt. The design was originally for an earlier client, Ralph Jester, also unbuilt. The living room is a complete sphere. The design was finally built in 1974, see below, without the sphere.

The various areas within the main space are larger and more elaborately planned than they would be for a house of more moderate cost, yet se still flows from area to area in human scale. The section taken through the living room and out onto the ocean-side terrace shows the scale and flow within the building. No reason given for not being built.

1949 - The Robert F. Windfohr House, aka Crownfield, Fort Worth TX. Unbuilt. Poured concrete house focused around a large circular living room. Out from this circle, which contained separate inner circles for fireplace gatherings, music, and dancing, were the other two major wings, one with a formal dining room, with its own conservatory, breakfast rooms, and cardrooms for games; the other was bedrooms. The clients abandoned it, not responding to Wright's letters. Three years later the scheme was redeveloped for Mexican Cabinet Minister Raul Bailleres, see below. Unbuilt. Later, it was redeveloped for Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe, which failed again to break ground.

 1950 - The Robert and Gloria Berger House, 259 Redwood Road, San Anselmo CA.

The Wrights continued to live in their home until David died in 1997 at the age of 102 and Gladys died in 2008 at the age of 104. They both outlived their only son, David Lloyd Wright, Jr.

 In 2009, their three granddaughters sold the house for $2.8 million to JT Morning Glory Enterprises LP, who intended to renovate and keep the house. The group's members included Jean Tichenor, Spencer Russell and Carolyn Russell who sold in early 2012 to developers 8081 Meridian Corporation, owned by Steve Sells and John Hoffman. While publicly promising the house would be preserved, Sells and Hoffman attained a demolition permit. The City of Phoenix revoked the demolition permit and considered landmark designation. Sold in October 2012 to Zachary (Zach) Rawling, aka David Wright House LLC, who is working to preserve the house as a museum and cultural center via a new non-profit, despite objections from local residents in the Arcadia neighborhood worried about overcrowding and noise. The bulk of the new construction will be an underground museum designed by former Wright student Wallace Cunningham and the non-profit will seek to recreate the original 1952 citrus grove setting as much as possible.

 1951 - The Edward Serlin House, aka Usonia, 12 Laurel Hill Road, Pleasantville NY.

1951 - The A. K. Chahroudi Summer Cottage, aka the Massaro House, Petra Island, Lake Mahopac NY. Wright designed a 1200 sf cottage which is still on the island, bottom right photo. He also designed a larger house which was unbuilt for over 40 years.

In 1991, the property was sold to Joseph Massaro. All that survived of the original larger Chahroudi house were five Wright drawings, including a floor plan with ideas for built-in and stand-alone furniture, a building section, and three elevations. Massaro got the original plans from Chahroudi's son. After rejecting Taliesin Architects because their fees were too high, Massaro hired Thomas A. Heinz, an architect and Wright historian, to complete the unfinished design. It was built between 2003 and 2007.

Occasionally open for tours by nonprofit groups. Photos from the LA Times. Was on the market in late 2010.  Taliesin Architects does not certify this as a Wright house (as they were not in charge) but Massaro definitely considers it a Wright house. 

 1951 - The Welbie L. Fuller House, 317 Sandy Hook Drive, Pass Christian MS.
Demolished by Hurricane Camille in August 1969. Bottom photo by Phillip Roach.

 1951 - The Charles F. Glore House,170 North Mayflower Road, Lake Forest IL. 2 acres, originally.The house fell into severe disrepair by the 1970's and was vacant by the 1980's. It was in danger of being demolished, and the two acre parcel was subdivided. The new owners did a renovation. The outside terrace, built in 1987, realizes the original which was not built. Sold in 1999 to Richard and Beth Katz. Sold in 2007 to architect Megan Hauswirth Beidler and her husband Frank Beidler IV.

 1951 - The Russell W. and Ruth G. Kraus House, 120 North Ballas Road, Kirkwood MO. Ruth Kraus died in 1992, and Russell Kraus spent several years searching for a caretaker for the house.

 1952 - The Quentin Blair House, 5588 Greybull Highway, Cody WY. 40 acres.The house has been since modified and somewhat enlarged in consultation from Taliesin Architects. It is the only Wright house in Wyoming. The home was featured on the cover of the June 1956 Household Magazine, photo above.

 1952 - The Ray and Mimi Brandes House,2202 212th Avenue SE, Issaquah WA.

 1952 - The Seamour and Gerte Shavin House, 334 North Crest Road, Chattanooga TN. Commissioned 1949. Top photo by James McNally. The Shavins grew up just below the bluff on which the house sits. This house is one of the few that Wright designed to sit on top of a hill, and it offers spectacular views. After saving up to design a house, the Shavins hired Wright and got of his late Usonians. The furniture includes a dining room suite made from the cypress. In the late 1980's they completed a painstaking rejuvenation of the cypress eaves and a new roof. They raised their family in the house and remain there still. The bedrooms are ship's-cabin tiny but include built-in's and lighting to make them very comfortable. The carport is an outrageous cantilever on a site subject to high winds. Other photos (taken 1989) from Jack Logan.

 1952 - The George and Clifton V. Lewis House, aka Spring House, aka Spring Hill, 3117 Okeeheepkee Road, Tallahassee FL,the only home designed by Wright in Florida. Upon George's death, deeded to wife Clifton V. Lewis. Endangered and deteriorating as of 2014.

 1952 - The Arthur Pieper House, 6442 East Cheney Road, Paradise Valley AZ. Pieper was a student at Taliesin. With the help of Taliesin fellow Charles Montooth, Pieper built the home himself. The two men formed Horizon Builders to fabricate the blocks for Wright's concrete houses. The design was a lower cost home with a smaller floor plan to make it more affordable to the general public. When their business did not catch on, Pieper moved east and Montooth joined Taliesin Associated Architects. In 1997, an addition 3-4 times the size of the original home was added, leaving the original portion a mere wing to the back. The original at that time was clad with Dryvit, an insulation material, to match the new addition.

 1952 - The Frank S. Sander House, aka Springbough, 121 Woodchuck Road, Stamford CT. 2.3 acres. Top photo is before a 2000 renovation, bottom after renovation. 2200 sf.  Built into the side of a rocky ledge. Bought in 1996 by Anne Del Gaudi who replaced the cantilevered deck in 2000 with one that would allow her to view the surrounding trees from a seated position, along with a screened in porch. Del Gaudi sold in 2004 to Erik Gavrilik, who demolished the 'new' deck and replaced it in 2006 with a porch like the original FLW version.

1952 - The Raul Bailleres House, Acapulco, Mexico. Unbuilt. Bailleres invited Wright to Mexico and Wright chose to re-work the unbuilt Windfohr house for the Mexican coastline. Fireplaces in the earlier house were converted to indoor fountains for this tropical region so perfectly suited to the sound of gently cascading jets of water. The death of the client's young son cancelled the project.

1952 - The Point View Residences, Pittsburgh PA. Unbuilt. Wright client Kaufmann, of Fallingwater fame, asked Wright to design an apartment building. Wright reworked the 1929 Elizabeth Noble Apartments to a larger scale. The units were designed for seniors but the site was isolated from shopping and support buildings. Kaufmann was advised by developers to abandon the project.

1953 - The Jorgine Boomer Cottage, akaMountain Cottage, 5808 North 30th Street, Phoenix AZ. 1413 square feet. She and husband Lucius planned to have Wright rebuild the Pauson residence in 1945. But when her husband passed away unexpectedly in a plane wreck, she had the smaller home built. Jorgine Boomer lived in the house only a few years before donating it to the Phoenix Art Museum. Unable to maintain it or use it for museum functions, partly because of zoning restrictions and partly due to location, the museum sold it in 1963. As of 2010, owned by Gilleland Residence Trust. 

 1953 - The Patrick and Margaret Kinney House, 424 North Fillmore Street, Lancaster WI. Commissioned 1951.To help keep the costs down, Patrick Kinney acted as the home's contractor.The Kinney's raised three children there, and in 1964, Taliesin fellow John H. Howe designed a detached northeast wing to accommodate the growing family. Patrick Kinney died there in 2004. Margaret Kinney continued to live in the home part of the year until her death in March 2011. Was on tour in September 2011. Second photo by Peter Beers. Photos 3 and 4 by T. Heggland.

There were two structures, the New York Usonian Exhibition House and the Pavilion, built at the same time. The dining room furniture were designed and built specifically for the Exhibition House. After the exhibition, the house was auctioned to David Henken. He contracted polio and the house was put into storage for 30 years. In 1984, it was auctioned again. Tom Monaghan of Domino's Pizza won, paying $117,000. Henken, hired to rebuild the house, died, and by that point the materials had deteriorated (and many were missing). Monaghan donated the house to the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, which determined that the house could not be restored and opted to auction it once more, for parts, in 1992.

His apprentice John Howe drafted a second design which established the final Y-shaped plan.

1954 - The Abraham Wilson and Gloria Bachman House, aka the Wilson House, aka the Bachman-Wilson House,originally at 1423 Millstone River Road, Hillsborough NJ.

She and her husband Lawrence completed a full restoration, including the furniture, and planned to add a guest house and pool. Hurricane Floyd ruined the kitchen in 1999, and there were frequent floods, including six feet during Hurridcan Irene in 2011. Moving it became essential. Deeded in 2007 to 21 Forest Crossing LLC, controlled by Tarantino's. At one point the house was to be moved to 21 Forest Crossing, Sagaponack NY.  Alice Walton of Walmart took interest and bought it for her Crystal Bridges art complex in Bentonville AR.

Mr. Morris died suddenly and Mrs. Morris did not want to go ahead alone. Wright advised her to keep the property and find something quieter and less dramatic for herself with a simpler design. She took his advice and purchased a site at Stinson Beach. "Quietwater" was a low, sheltered house that Wright designed for her, but by the time the working drawings were done, she too died.

 1955 - The Maximillian (Max) Hoffman House, 38-64Island Drive, inside a gated community on North Manursing Island, Rye NY.

 1955 - The William (Bill) B. and Elizabeth Tracy House,18971 Edgecliff Drive Southwest, Normandy Park WA. Bottom two photos by Jack Logan. The house sits on a spectacular bluff overlooking the Puget Sound. After saving up to design a house, the Tracys hired Wright. They got one of his later Usonian Automatic concrete block houses. Bill Tracy fabricated the multitude of complex metal forms necessary, including all of the different wall, corner, roof, eave, jamb, and window blocks - both left and right hand. They then cast all of the concrete themselves in a vacant lot behind their apartment, and found a contractor (Brandes - who later built a Wright house himself) willing to take on the project. The innovative construction method, ahead of its time, is an amazing precedent for the insulated concrete forms now used in construction. For sale 2011-2014.

1955 - The Dorothy Turkel House, 2760 West Seven Mile Road, Detroit MI. 4000 sf. Wright's only two-story Usonian. Dorothy Turkel and her four children lived in it until 1978. After that it went through a series of owners and fell into neglect that resulted in foreclosure. Sold in 2006 to Dale Morgan and Norman Silk who commenced a four-year renovation. Photos by Hour Detroit.

1955 - The Usonian Automatic, Gerald Sussman House, Rye NY. Unbuilt. As Wright's popularity grew, he could not handle the many calls for low or moderate budget custom-designed houses. As early as 1949 he began planning the Usonian Automatic, a tock plan. Concrete blocks form an outer shell and a second, more insulated wall later can be added. The ceiling was also composed of blocks set up on a wooden form, steel reinforcing rods tied into the blocks and then the whole poured in place. The result is a monolithic structure - fireproof and earthquake-proof. No color, painting, or surfacing would be required for the blocks; no maintenance or repainting would be necessary. Electrical and plumbing systems were to be modular and prefabricated.

1956 - The Harold C. Price Tower, 510 Dewey Avenue, Bartlesville OK.  This19 story, 221 foot multi-use skyscraper is one of only two of Wright high-rise designs that was completed. Harold C. Price asked Wright to design a building to house his company headquarters along with office space for lease, shops, and apartments. The H. C. Price Company was the primary tenant, and the remaining office floors and double height apartments intended as income-raising ventures. Architect Bruce Goff leased both an office and an apartment. Price sold the tower to Phillips Petroleum in 1981 and it was used only for storage when an exterior exit staircase was deemed unsafe. The building was donated to the Price Tower Arts Center in 2000 and it has been restored to its original multi-use origins, with art exhbitions, shopping, and high design hotel accommodations. In 2007 it was listed as a National Historic Landmark.

In 1963, the property was sold to Mid Continent Properties Inc and in 1964 to Herman R. Shepherd and other investors. 

Between 1964 and 1967, major renovations to the property were undertaken by Taliesin Associated Architects. It appears that architect John de Koven Hill designed the additions with assistance from architect William Wesley Peters (Wright's son-in-law). Gelbin acted as supervisor on the project and the contractor was Tom Riordan of Norwalk. New landscaping was designed by landscape architects Charles Middeleer and Frank Masao Okamura. They took much of the custom-built furnishings with them when they moved. In 1980, the property was sold to Ranko Santric. Sold in 1992 to Theodore and Vada S. Stanley.

Over time, campus planners abandoned or diluted Wright's master plan. This new Visitor's Center was modified from one of Wright's unused 1939 designs for faculty housing. Good luck finding it. Signs on campus are few.

2014 - The Hugh Petter House, Tyntesfield Springs, Wraxell, near Bristol, England, UK. Adaptation of the unbuilt 1947 O'Keeffe House. Petter negotiated for eight years with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to gain permission to build it. In late 2014 a city planning inspector blocked plans for the home submitted by Stephen Brooks Architects on grounds that it is not of “exceptional quality or of an innovative nature.”
