LAKEWOOD HISTORICAL SOCIETY presents: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Usonian Home
Fred R. Unwin illustrates the humble genius of architect Frank Lloyd Wright with an appreciation of the Weltzheimer/Johnson house in Oberlin, Ohio. One of the few Usonian homes open to the general public, it stands as a brick and redwood example of Wright’s vision of stylish, affordable middle class living. It may still have much to teach us about making homes in the twenty-first century.
