While he is known for his flagship projects including Fallingwater in Pennsylvania, the Johnson Wax Company headquarters in Wisconsin, the Ennis House in Los Angeles and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Wright also created a design for smaller, more affordable residences called Usonian homes.

RiverRock was Wright’s final Usonian home blueprint, delivered in 1959.

More than 60 years later, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was built on the site originally intended for it, following Wright’s original plans while also meeting modern building code regulations.

The property in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, was bought by Sarah Dykstra in 2018. The purchase included an existing 1955 Wright home called The Louis Penfield House, as well as the unbuilt Wright plan known as Project #5909 in the Taliesin Archives, Wright’s office.
