Wright Sites in Alabama

While not as widely known as the organic architecture hotspots of California or Arizona, Alabama offers a hidden gem in the form of the Rosenbaum House in Florence. Designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939, the Rosenbaum House is a prime example of his Usonian vision – affordable, harmonious dwellings that blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings.
