The Curtis and Lillian Meyer House in Galesburg, Michigan, is a stunning 1951 Usonian Solar Hemicycle home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948 and carefully restored to its original 1950s splendor. Featuring Wright-designed furniture, built-in banquettes, a dining table, restored mahogany accents, and gardens in full bloom, the home has received both the 2019 Visser Award for Outstanding Restoration of a Frank Lloyd Wright House and the 2021 Wright Spirit Award. Set in a peaceful rural setting surrounded by nature, the house embodies Wright’s evolving approach to modern American design.
