Frank Lloyd Wright was a ground-breaking architect who developed a style all his own. We’re lucky to have several of his masterpieces right here in Wisconsin. Most of Wright’s homes are occupied by their owners, but a few are available for public tours. Here’s one home you can tour…and you can even rent this gorgeous home for an overnight stay!
World-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright built this home in 1938. The home was built for Bernard Schwartz and his family, and Wright nicknamed it Still Bend.

The cut-out panels allow natural light to flow into the house, and make interesting light patterns on the walls.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s homes were always designed with nature in mind. In Still Bend, he combined red tidewater cypress with red brick.

Wright also believed that homes should be functional and encourage people to gather. The library is a perfect example of this principle.

Large windows also allow residents to be part of the outdoors, while inside the home.
