and only Wednesday - Sunday. We came through St. Louis on a Monday, drove out to this Frank Lloyd House, and were so disappointed that we could not even see the exterior. The long drive up was gated.

This is a small but lovingly maintained home with all the original furnishings, including Wright designed furniture. One of the more interesting parts of the tour is learning what it was like for a home builder to stick to the design, materials specified in every detail, taking over ten years to come close to finishing the home! Well worth a... More

Excellent docent tour of this unusual house. Wright was an interesting character. Anxious to tour other houses that he designed.

I am a Frank Lloyd Wright buff and have been to this house several times---but just can't get enough. Mary Dale was the docent on this tour and frankly I learned things I had not known previously. The house is very small but placed well on a beautifully landscaped 10+ acres in suburban St. Louis. If you are in the... More

Have visited many Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the Midwest this is one of the few that actually had the original furniture and textiles in it. The folks that gave the tour seemed to know Mr. Wright so they were able to add to the experience.

This house isn't very big, but you get to see all of it up close. Typical Frank Lloyd Wright architecture, and the house is mainly designed around 2 big parallolgrames. And many more included in the design. Tour has to be arranged in advance, but it is a nice tour lasting about 1 hour and 15 minutes which includes a... More

A bit smaller and more compact than most of Wright's houses, this features his usual wonderful warm woods. Situated on the brow of the hill, it offers a carport, an attached office, and typical little closet space. It's owned by the St Louis County Parks Department and so is not open every day - call for tour times.

This FLW Usonian home is not to miss if you are a fan of architecture and design. You need to call ahead to arrange for tours Wednesday through Sunday. http://www.ebsworthpark.org/tours.html. The tours are limited to 10 so they are intimate and relaxed with knowledgable tour guide. There is only port-o-let for restroom facilities.

The guides where excellent. Very amazing home. I loved the design but for me it would be hard to live in this place personally. Very zen like with many points in the design. I would call them poison arrows but some how it all works with balance. I loved the persimmon trees all around the home. I gather some for... More
