As an aficionado of the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, the opportunity to tour The Westcott House Museum in Springfield, Ohio was much too good to pass up.
Westcott House was completed in 1904, and is a fine example of the Prairie Style.

But wait!
There is MORE!
There are other FLW residences in the parts of Ohio we traveled, so we tried to do a few respectful drive bys:
 |
| Boulter House, 1954 Amberly, Ohio Usonian Style |
 |
| Gerald B.Tonkens House, 1954 Clifton, Ohio Usonian Style I wouldn't walk up the driveway; didn't want to be rude. |
I've included links to websites for each building, in case anyone is interested in better photos.
Many thanks to my sister for driving the getaway car...so to speak..😹
Frank Lloyd Wright certainly had his concept of houses. My uncle had a great photo book, you know the coffee table book, of all his buildings that he designed and had built. He gave me the book and I had it for years and it was amazing to look at. I've been lucky enough to see a couple.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous book!
DeleteWhat a beautiful home. I would love to see that in person too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
I really like his style! My wife's uncle was the primary caretaker of the Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water home in Ohiopyle, PA until he retired. We were fortunate to visit there many times.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, how cool is that!?!
DeleteFalling Water is definitely on my list, and my sister who lives near Pittsburgh says she wants to go too.
Oh, wow! You were less than an hour away from us. I had no idea Springfield boasted such a cool museum. I wish we could have me up there. :) Be well!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool, thanks for sharing! I love that dining room.
ReplyDeleteFascinating and interesting, his architecture certainly stands out and stands the test of time.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been fun to tour.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures, My parents would love to see it but their travelling days are in the rear view so they depend on their friends posting pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo amazing! We are huge fans of Frank Lloyd Wright. My dad was an architect, and FLW was one of his idols. I was exposed to his work as a child, and love it to this day.
