You’re in the Wright Place!
Nebraska, while renowned for its expansive plains and agricultural prominence, also presents an intriguing architectural narrative. From the majestic state capitol building in Lincoln, a testament to Bertram Goodhue’s artistry, to the charming prairie-style residences scattered throughout the state, Nebraska’s architecture is a reflection of its diverse history. Notably, the state is also home to the Harvey P. Sutton House in McCook, a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Prairie School masterpiece. This home stands as a unique architectural treasure, showcasing Wright’s distinctive style within the Nebraskan landscape.
The state’s architectural tapestry weaves together historical styles, including Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and Art Deco, which are prominently displayed in the older structures of cities like Omaha and Lincoln. Alongside these historical influences, modern architecture contributes to the state’s evolving skyline. The Sutton House, with its Prairie School design, adds a significant layer to this tapestry, demonstrating the reach of influential architectural movements into the heart of Nebraska.
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!
