Description and history
It is one of seven Frank Lloyd Wright designed Usonian houses located in Iowa, and one of two that were constructed in Oskaloosa.[2] Both were completed in 1951. This house is an L-plan, unless you count the carport, which makes it a T-plan. It was a custom-built house that embodied the ideals of "free and simple living, in touch with nature, for the family of moderate means."[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 9, 1988.[1]

gollark: Yes. When I go mountain climbing and I need to recharge my phone, instead of messing with a solar panel or something I simply find a pebble and connect some leads to it.
gollark: Suuuure.
gollark: Arguably quite a lot are. Depending on things, you may end up suffering more overhead trying to split up work, merge your parts back together, maintain multiple copies of things, communicate, and that sort of thing, than you would just doing all of it yoursel.
gollark: Nobody knows. It's just abstract philosophy right now.
