Frank Lloyd Wright’s McCartney House, nestled in Kalamazoo, Michigan’s Parkwyn Village, stands as a testament to the architect’s innovative Usonian home design. Built in 1949 for Ward and Helen McCartney, the house embodies Wright’s vision of blurring the lines between nature and interior living.

About Me

Yvonne Carpenter-Ross

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!
