​@John Meigs I had a builder explain to me that the homes built 100 years ago were built differently because then labor and materials were cheap and technology was expensive;electricity (100 amp),bathrooms, kitchens. Today technology is cheap but materials and labor are expensive. Also as you stated land was much cheaper which is a major problem now. The home is beautiful but that's because the lot is beautiful. It's a different time.

At the time, most middle class housing including the land cost about 5000 dollars. There is nothing remarkable about any architectural student designing an affordable house. Most wouldn’t make Wright’s mistakes of low ceilings and doorways, inadequate lighting, and poor ventilation. Wright did sometime create a beautiful building. He could have done a heap better if he cared about construction and livability.

@John Meigs Yes, I understand that, and I know that even with the Usonian design and thought; Wright's house still came in over budget. But Wright was correct: the need for affordable housing, which is more than just a hovel, is sorely needed. Now, far more than in Wright's time. So, while I realize that his concepts for affordable housing were idealistic; the need is very high. And we could house everyone in this country - we simply choose not to.

@John Meigs Why are you comparing the medium (do you mean median?) wage and income in 1936 to the building costs in one of the most expensive cities in the country? Wouldn't it be better to compare modern building costs in Wisconsin where the house is located? Housing costs have certainly risen unsustainably, but you could make your argument better with more relevant data.

Reminds me of the Usonian house at Florida Southern College in Lakeland - where he was also commissioned to do, basically, the college campus. Combination of budget and, well, FLW, meant that the entire vision never happened BUT there are a number of structures on campus designed by him, still in use AND you can tour these in addition to the house itself. It's really something of a surprise and can be easily reached from Tampa, little bit longer driver from Orlando, if you happen to be staying in either city, looking for a half day trip.

Can’t help but wonder whether it could still be built today for _close to_ $100K (plus land). Consider if the structure were pre-built in a modular factory, not like those mobile half-homes sections you see on the highway, but sections of walls, etc. factory formed; then those pieces flat packed on a truck bed; then framed & assembled on site, with brick siding (faux brick, perhaps?) & other exterior features added on to finish the look. Might be able to accomplish that for less than $200K.

My first guess is cost - FLW designed this home as a one-off, not a regular occurrence, and he probably earned very little on it. Bigger budgets also allow for more creative freedom. While the occasional project with stricter boundaries may be fun, as a business model its hard. The cookie-cutter homes are basically built and designed wholesale, so they can be made quickly and cheaply, without the overhead and rules of an artistic architect.

Years ago, I watched a TV documentary about FLW and the houses he designed. They went into detail how difficult they were to build and how many longterm problems come with his houses. He didn't consider the internal plumbing, drainage, electric wiring, and other important concerns-- leaving that to the contractors. Apparently these houses require a great deal of expensive repairs and upkeep. I toured Taliesin West in Scottsdale in 1998, and the tour guide shared the same complaint. Creative, but not always well-thought out.

I live close to the Jacobs houses and am privileged to have been allowed inside Jacobs 1. I also attend Wright’s home congregation at the First Unitarian Society in Madison for which he designed an amazing and very famous building. There are still Wright homes, primarily Usonian and American System-Built houses being “discovered” in Wisconsin. For those who say they couldn’t live in such houses - there are certainly trade offs (horrible kitchens), but it’d be a privilege. Don’t judge them until you’ve actually personally experienced one or more of them, particularly the more modest sized houses. There’s a feeling of immediate comfort and coziness one experiences upon entering that extends throughout. I feel infinitely privileged to have experienced more than the average number of Wright homes and public buildings for myself. I highly recommend the Wright and Like tours which are held regularly. FUS and other sites like Taliesin (which is only half an hour outside of Madison, not “across the state”) are open for tours. Come to Madison and see a few of the many for yourself. You can also take a day trip to Oak Park to see his home and studio - also open for tours.

I’ve been a Wright fan since I was a kid. I had always wanted to build my own house, so home architecture was my big interest, and the architecture of FLW particularly. I did design and build my own home eventually, but it reflected none of Wrights influence, unfortunately. My design was focused on making it energy efficient and affordable on my limited budget, two things Wright seldom achieved in his designs. But I sacrificed aesthetics and my admiration of Wright’s work. He would not not have approved of my design! Wright’s oft-repeated promise of perfecting an architecture affordable to the average middle class American just never came true. Still, I love his design philosophy and have visited a number of homes of his design. My favorite architect.

Wonderful place on the lake w another FLW home next to it and one with a bridge over Birch Brook a few doors down. Story told to us kids was he had a girlfriend who lived in the area and she was his excuse to build there. I was born and raised in Oak Park, IL. Frank Lloyd Wright was part of our history lessons. Thankful. My designs in jewelry reflect him too. Nice to see a small affordable place.

Seems a very Japanese house to me. Beautiful.

Wright was very heavily influenced by Japanese art and architecture, as were all devotees of the Arts & Crafts movement. He designed a hotel in Japan which was ultimately destroyed by an earthquake but it was built to withstand them and did for years, and he was a collector of Hiroshige works too.

On the grand designs in the first 5 to 6 minutes of every episode the 3-D model is presented and you get a real feel about it even now when you use the imaginary walk-through possibilities which cadcam has nowadays.

Wall of windows! This is the way to build a house! If only builders now could learn from Wright! We have so many “postage stamp window” houses. So depressing.

The Usonian designs are incredibly lovely homes. The flat roof design has always been an issue in the Midwest. With the better materials we have today, that issue is entirely solvable. There are a fair number of these still around the MW and I know several people who have successfully dealt with some of the construction issues. Spending time in them is just such a treat.

I believe the black and white kitchen photo at 3.44 is the Stuart Richardson House by Mr. Wright, not the Jacobs House.

I really love that he wasn’t bothered by the budget and still wanted them to have a great home. Please make a video about the second house.

There is a show on A&E called Flipping down South in Birmingham Al. There are 5 shows and one of them was the flip of a dilapidated mid-cen mod, that from the outside looks exactly like this house. It was a great episode to watch and looked great when finished. I wonder if the custom home was a copy of this one, it was so similar and rare in that area. I love that he accepted the challenge.

In 2008/2009 I built a "copy" of this house, in modern materials. It cost about $550,000 to build.

More proof of his architectural genuis and a 1595 sf home is a very big size. My home is only 1100 sf. Having a nice beautiful work of art home for only $5k is amazing. That's how much a custom built shed would cost now. I have been a fan of Wright since the 70s in Highschool and have all his books.
