The first Usonian house

Frank Lloyd Wright built a home in 1923 in Pasadena, California for Alice Millard, a rare book dealer originally from Highland Park, Illinois and it is called La Miniatura. Thirty years after he built the home, he called La Miniatura his first Usonian house.

 In 1936 Wright built a home in Madison, Wisconsin for Herbert and Katherine Jacobs and Wright termed this home a Usonian house. It was believed that the Jacobs home was the first Usonian home Wright designed, but Wright himself in 1953, gave that honor to La Miniatura.

Construction has picked up today; more dirt moving about!

Work continues...

The work area has been fenced and the garage that was behind the green house has been torn down.
