My daughter is a first year architecture student at FIU in Miami. I'm more of a FLW enthusiast than she, but I'll take her to Florida Southern College to see the FLW buildings. The USONIAN homes are my favorite FLW creations for their simplicity and distinctiveness. Still, like anything created by mankind they have flaws such as the narrow, closed in feeling of passageways or transit routes between rooms. Give me open space, light filled windows, and a simple step to the outside, and I will consider myself happy.

Excellent intoduction to the Usonian concept. Hope to visit this fall and do all the Wright things. If ever in Oregon, consider visiting the FLW designed Gordon House. Located 10 minutes east of Salem, off I5, in Silverton, on the Oregon Gardens grounds. Well worth the stop.

I will forward link to your website to an architect in Voralberg Austria. The site provides an excellent introduction to Usonian design.

Had the pleasure of visiting the interior in 2001 on my first visit to Wisc ! Thanks !! Subsequently spend time volunteering at Taliesin and visited Pew and Jacobs II - an astonishing beautiful cultural patrimony for Southwest Wisconsin. A great debt owed to all those who maintain and keep these buildings in great shape.

I photographed the Usonia 1 House for Progressive Architecture Magazine and The California Redwood Association in 1983. I still have the photographs, the house looks as current today as it did then.

It was nice to visit "In The Realm of Ideas" in Madison in 1991 (Wright drawings displayed). I took my mother as a 70th birthday gift, and Jacobs House I was also open for tours. Mom was the Jacobs' after school helper/babysitter when the home was new, and it was really a thrill to take her to see this lovely home about 53 years later. Thank you for this lovely website, too.

We are in the process of buying a house in Kirkwood, MO. In tracing the history of Barrett Brae Subdivsion, I came upon this site. Our future home was built in 1955 using the Usonian concept. We have had the opportunity to visit 2 Frank Lloyd Wright homes. One here in Kirkwood, MO, the other in Springfield, IL. The Jacobs House is absolutely gorgeous!

I have been reading a book I recently bought on Frank Lloyd Wright and realized, to my amazement, that I had babysat many times in this house while I was a student at Madison in 1975-75. A young couple with a baby lived there, he was a medical resident, and they moved out of the area that summer.I thought it was the most beautiful and unusual house I had ever seen. Now I know why!! I had absolutely no idea it was one of FLW's most famous houses. It was never mentioned!
