Frank Lloyd Wright’s Allen House

Wichita KS

Another Frank Lloyd Wright house. This one was completed in 1918, for newspaper publisher Henry Allen and his wife, Elsie. It was the last of the architect’s famous prairie houses, which emphasized horizontal lines, earth tones and a continuous blending of interiors with exteriors.

Architectural writers who have visited the house believe its living room is “one of the great rooms of the 20th century”.

The home features more than 30 pieces of Wright-designed furniture, all of its original art glass and several new-for-their-time innovations, such as wall-hung water closets and an attached garage.
