Westcott House (1908)
Never forget an architect by the name of Frank Lloyd Wright. Born in Richland Center, Wisconsin on June 8th, 1867, the American genius and visionary architect and designer would go on to design more than 1,000 structures in a period of about 70 years. At the same time, it’s kind of OK to forget the […]
Meyer May House (1908)

Tours This house is privately owned and […]
