| 説明 | Built in 1929, this Modern house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his cousin Richard Lloyd Jones, publisher of the Tulsa Tribune, and is an example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Textile Block architecture. The house was an evolution of Wright’s design philosophy away from the earlier Prairie School, partially inspired by Wright’s work on the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. Westhope is the only Textile Block House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright outside of California.The house is built of concrete blocks with vertical window bays, metal mullions, multi-story glass solariums, a complex roofline made up of various low-slope sections, and a rear yard housing a pool, partially enclosed by a covered walkway that links the main house with a one-story five-bay garage. The exterior solariums feel reminiscent of Fallingwater, built seven years later, which features similar windows on the exterior. Inside, the house features Cherokee Red-stained concrete floors, clerestory windows, ample natural light, concrete textile block light fixtures built into the columns and walls, five bedrooms, and a large open-plan living space on the first floor.The house was renovated in 1965 to fix several longstanding issues under the purview of architect M. Murray McCune, and was further renovated in 2021 under the ownership of Stuart Price. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The house today remains a private residence, and is one of the most architecturally significant and distinctive homes in the Tulsa area, and one of only three extant Wright structures in Oklahoma. |
