The Usonian House was the first building by Frank Lloyd Wright erected in New York City. The 1700 square foot exhibition house exposed New Yorkers to Wright's simple open plan, a home built in proportion to the human scale using his philosophy of organic architecture. The accompanying pavillion housed drawings, models, and photographs as part of the 60-year retrospective of his work. It was situated on the projected site of the Guggenheim Museum. One of the plans contains an unsigned 14-line note possibly in Wright's hand to a fellow architect. It mostly discusses materials that might be borrowed or donated to the project. Should be seen.
