The Kalil House in Manchester, New Hampshire, is a remarkable example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian Automatic home design. Designed in 1955, the house was built for Toufic and Mildred Kalil, a young couple seeking a modern and efficient home.

The Wright Neighbors

The Kalils were inspired to contact Frank Lloyd Wright to design their home since their neighbors, the Zimmermans, had comissioned a Wright home a few years earlier. Both houses are located on the same street.

Location

The Kalil House is located at 117 Heather Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. The Zimmerman House is just down the street. 

If you decide to tour these homes, the starting point of the tour is the Currier Museum of Art which is located at 150 Ash Street in Manchester, NH.

About Me

FLW Enthusiast & Webmaster

Architecture and home design have always fascinated me. As a young girl I enjoyed drawing floor plans, rearranging my parent’s furniture and playing with Lincoln Logs and Legos.  My passion has always been the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Since I have been old enough to drive a car, I have visited Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the Chicagoland area and attended the Wright Plus house walks. Now, as co-owners of Northern Sky Designs, my husband & I are able to combine our website design skills and FLW travels to bring you this website! Enjoy!
