We were surprised to find out that there was a Frank Lloyd Wright home in Florence. So random! (You can imagine how the locals felt when it was built - the style is SO different than everything else.) You have to go! No reservations needed. Show up and you’ll get a short tour and time to poke around a little. The house isn’t big but wow. My husband told me afterwards that he wouldn’t have chosen to visit on his own but he was REALLY glad we did lol.

We've visited several FLW homes around the country. I always find the homes interesting. To be honest, I'm not sure why he was such a revered architect. I think some of his houses have too many weird features, and to me don't seem like they are built for comfort. The day we visited they were doing tours a little different than normal because they had some big groups visiting that day. The visitor center is across the street from the house. We had a running joke on our vacation that every place we visited they seemed to be mowing the lawn there or somewhere in the vicinity. When we approached the house the docent was outside and gave us a history of the house. The problem was someone was mowing across the street (not the docent's fault of course), so it was hard to hear all the details. I'm not sure why we couldn't have stepped into the house and heard about it. I'm not sure how tours are normally done, but our tour was self-guided. We went through the different rooms and could ask questions along the way. FLW didn't believe in wasting any space! Like I said it's always interesting to see the homes he built. I wouldn't call this attraction a must-do, but if you are a FLW fan or are into architecture etc. then you will most likely enjoy this.

We took the 3:45 pm tour on 7/19/24. The house is amazing, different than either Taliesin or Falling Water but still with the Wright vibe. The tour guide was great, he did a good job explaining the history of the house, the history of the Rosenbaum's and the style of the house and Wright's style. If you are a FLW fan, this is a great house to see and tour. Note: It took us about 2.5 hours to get there from Memphis, TN.

Wonderful experience. Personable & informative guides. Lovely neighborhood with plenty of parking across the street in the school parking lot. The home itself stood out from the many others we have toured. He comes up with the most innovative ways to bring in the skylight.
