This is a must see! This is one of two houses in north Manchester designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Every piece of furniture in the house was specifically designed to go in the house. The house is preserved as it was when it was first built. The use of space, both inside and outside, is intriguing. You'll be fascinated... More

Going to visit the Zimmerman House is like stepping back into the 1950"s - everything is left as it was when the Zimmermans lived there. A must see for anyone interested in architecture, FLW, or usonian design. We'll go back! :) More

This beautiful home built in the early 1950's is the only Wright structure in New England open for tours. It is a prime example of his natural house style Wright called Usonian. Tours are available through the Manchester Currier Museum and reservations are highly urged. The small group tours are led by informative docents who lead the group through every... More

Am a FLW fan and have been to Taliesin west and in WI. This little gem of a house gives a glimpse into FLW style for the average person (house is small but I bet it cost a fortune anyway). Well worth the trip as is the Currier Art Museum. More

Are you a Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast? This house educated me so! It was not what I expected. It was, however, quite interesting. Frank Lloyd Wright was a brilliant man full of thought. More

It has been a while since I have taken this tour. However, the quality and impact of this one tour have been with me ever since. It is an exquisite tour, offered in small groups (~12 people with 2 tour guides, who then split into 2 groups of 6 when in the house). Our volunteer tour guide gave an outstanding... More

I've long been a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright's work, but was most familiar with his projects in Illinois and Wisconsin. I was astonished to learn that he had designed two houses in Manchester in the same neighborhood, and that one of them is owned by the Currier Museum of Art. (Contact the museum for information on their small group... More

It is a house, FLW designed it. There are neat things, built in furniture and a place for everything. Kind of a way of life, prescribed by the great architect. It is interesting if you are a fan. If not, it's a neat house to see. If you are not interested in houses, don't go, you'll be bored. More

Be sure to reserve early for the tours. After an overview of the home you take a shuttle from the Currier Museum of Art. The fireplace is a great piece of Wright design. More
