Frank Lloyd Wright

This is the Rosenbaum House. A single-family home designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and built for Stanley and Mildred Rosenbaum in Florence, Alabama in 1940. The only Wright building in Alabama.

 

Here you are looking at the side of the house -- the back of the house from the side. The windows on the back have wire screens of an interesting hue selected by Wright and which look (of course) perfect for the house.

 

The Rosenbaum House was one of the first Usonian houses designed by Wright. Wright considered the Usonian to be a house for middle income people owing to their moderate size.

 

The Rosenbaum family managed to keep all of the Wright-designed elements in the house intact including the original furniture. The lower section going off to the right was a later addition to the house, but was also designed by Wright.

 

Truly an amazing house and a wonderful preservation of Wright's heritage.
