Recently we stopped at Cedar Rock State Park near Quasqueton, Iowa. The park has preserved the Lowell Walter Residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Unsonian style home was built in 1950 and donated to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources after Walter's death in 1981.
Cedar Rock is one of seven residences in Iowa designed by Wright. We have now visited most of them, and they are pictured in the FLW section of this blog. The interior took my breath away, and I took particular interest in the furniture that Wright designed for the livingroom.
Cedar Rock features the rare FLW signature tile.
Lot's of inspiration here! I post more pics soon in a second installment.
I believe there is a FLW designed home in Marshalltown, Iowa. Also, one or two of those steel homes, which was first introduced to in Lombard IL.
