2. Frank Lloyd Wright began designing the house
in 1950 and it was completed in 1954. The
Lewis family moved in and lived there until
2011.
This house is in Wrights Hemicycle design
which means it is one of only a few that he
designed with half circle shapes.
The Spring House is a perfect example of
how Wright loved to incorporate buildings
with nature.
3. The side of the Spring House that is shaped as a half circle forming with
another half circle, resembling a boat.
4. When the Lewis family moved out in 2011, the Spring House Institute was formed in
order to teach others about the house and to help earn money to restore it.
The Spring House is an excellent site to learn about early architecture and the
famous Frank Lloyd Wright.
• The Spring House has so many unique
features inside and outside the house. Each
room shows off Wrights style and talent.
