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: There are entirely too many weird interacting trends going on right now which make it hard to predict much, not that that was ever very easy.
gollark: The best estimate I'm aware of is that humanity has a 1/6 chance of ceasing to exist within a century, although this says nothing about societal collapse which doesn't wipe out everyone.
