The House that Frank Lloyd Wright Built

Paul tipped me off that the only house that was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Nebraska is right here in McCook. It's at 602 Norris Ave. if you want to Google Map it.


There are no markings on it that says "Yo. The same guy who built the Guggenheim built this place." However I'm fairly confident I snapped photos of the correct house because it was by far the least boring house at that particular intersection.

Even the garage is nice.

There are still unanswered questions. Questions like "How exactly did Paul find out about this house anyway?"

Another question that comes to my mind is "How did this guy manage to build 532 homes?" His first house was 1889. During this time he worked under Louis Sullivan (considered the creator of the modern skyscraper) but Frank apparently thought he wasn't getting enough work, as it was later discovered that he was building additional buildings privately, without going through the firm.

His last design was in the year of his death, 1959. That means across the 70 years of his career, he was averaging about 7.6 homes a year, or a little over 1 building every 1.5 months. And these aren't Podunk cookie-cutter-type mobile homes, each was a unique work of art. Frank Lloyd Wright, I salute you!
