A limestone bluff above Iowa’s Wapsipinicon River provides a stunning setting for the complex of buildings that served as a summer retreat for Lowell Walter, a Des Moines businessman, and his wife.
In 1938 Frank Lloyd Wright was entering the most productive period of his life and, once again, was in the media spotlight.
This house is an example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s classic Usonian architecture.
Wright maintained a lifelong interest in prefabricated housing, as demonstrated by his American Systems-Built Houses of 1911-1917.
This building, exemplary of Wright’s Usonian style, represents the architect’s answer to low-cost housing for the average American.
