This is the staircase to a little-seen basement room that shows the underside of one of the main boulders the house was anchored around.
I can understand why this room isn't on the main tour, it's extremely cramped, and is mostly interesting for the boulder sticking out of the walls. Tour staff uses it as a restroom and a place to hold their stuff.
E. Clarke and Julia Arnold House
(#07000339)
954 Dix St.
Columbus, WI
A Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Usonian home built in 1955 overlooking farmlands to the west. The house was originally designed with a V-shaped floor plan, but when the Arnolds had twins, Wright approved the addition of a third wing, making the house a Y.
The detached garage, accessed by an alley, was built in the 1950's so is not original to the house and has lttle to do with the house aesthetically.
This sketch shows the horizontal board and batten siding, central chimney mass, 2nd floor porches, rear entry door and tall windows at the stair landing. Not typical for Wright, this home contains several double hung windows at the 2nd floor.
