    Unique house design!

    Should you have any interest in house architecture this is a must see. This has a floor plan designed around of two interesting parrallelograms. The outside and inside are truly amazing by both wall and roof angles.

    Father's Day Out

    I took my Dad (a former builder and architect ) on a tour of the house. It was a very special outing with my Dad. I really thought the tour guide was prepared and the original furniture was something to see.

    Very interesting for a small house

    The use of angles was very unusual. The only right angle in the house was in a bathroom for a tub that was never installed due to owner wishes. Persimmon debris is on the grounds in fall. Makes a mess on your shoes.

    Artistic gem in Kirkwood

    Plan ahead and purchase tickets online. The house is not open to walk in tours. This house is a gem to view FLW's Usonian design. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

    Yes even here in St Louis we have Frank Lloyd Wright. You dont have to travel very far to experience this architect up close and personal.

    Superb house

    This is one of the most unusual FLW houses to view. The hexagonal and parallelogram beds are a must see! This is Wright's concept of a down market house for a middle income person. Actually a person who in 2011 could afford to pay $1...More
