Description
Exterior of the Rosenbaum House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Florence, Alabama.
The Rosenbaum House is a single-family house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and built for Stanley and Mildred Rosenbaum in Florence, Alabama. A noted example of his Usonian house concept, it is the only Wright building in Alabama and is one of only 26 pre-World War II Usonian houses. Wright scholar John Sergeant called it "the purest example of the Usonian".
In 1938 newlyweds Stanley Rosenbaum (a professor at Florence State Teachers' College) and his wife Mildred were given a building lot and funds to build a house in Florence, Alabama. Both had read Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography and a cover story on Wright in Time magazine. The Rosenbaums took up residence in September 1940 and the first photographs of the house were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City the following month. This house was also the childhood home of notable American film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum.

Very cool. I worked for a family in Pasadena many many years ago who lived in a house built by Frank Lloyd Wright. FLTw
