Kentuck Nob, a Usonian home, of the

mid 50's

located in the Laurel Highlands of

Western Pennsylvania

His 'Usonian' homes set a new style for suburban design that was followed by countless developers. Many features of modern American homes date back to Wright; open plans, slab-on-grade foundations, and simplified construction techniques that allowed more mechanization or at least efficiency in building are amongst his innovations.

Cedar Rock

The Walter House was one of Wright’s most complete designs. Nearly everything at Cedar Rock bears the architect’s imprint. Wright designed the furniture. selected the carpets. chose the draperies .and even picked out the accessories. Cedar Rock was begun in 1948 and completed in 1950. Its roof and floors are concrete; the walls are brick, glass. and walnut. Cedar Rock is one of ten buildings Wright designed in Iowa.

Wingspread

Wingspread is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright for Herbert Fisk Johnson, Jr. and built in 1938- 1939 near Racine, Wisconsin. The living room is the centre of the home, and four wings extend from it to four "zones": the master bedroom, the children’s rooms, the kitchen and servants' quarters, and the guestrooms/garage. .

Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium

Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium (widely known as Gammage Auditorium and often called the Gammage) is named for Dr. Grady Gammage, President of Arizona State University from 1933 to 1959. The auditorium is located on the main campus of Arizona State University in Tempe at the crossroads of Mill Avenue and Apache Boulevard.  It is considered to be the last public commission of architect Frank Lloyd Wright (and reputed to be based on Wright's drawings for an opera house in Baghdad, Iraq of which, legend has it, Wright lost the blueprint in a gambling wager with Gammage ). Groundbreaking took place and construction on Gammage began on May 23, 1962. It took 25 months to complete. The built-on-time, under-budget building opened in 1964 with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy.
