Description
Many of Wright’s best-known houses were built for the well-to-do, not accessible for a mass audience. Less well known is Wright’s quest to design housing more accessible to the typical middle-class family. By the 1930s he embraced a simplified, compact plan, budgeted for those of modest means which he christened Usonian, and many still exist today. While his later projects all cost more than his first Usonian, Wright remained true to his goal of developing quality housing, affordable to a broad audience.
