Frank Lloyd Wright's Endangered Spring House
Frank Lloyd Wright's Spring House in Tallahassee, Florida, was commissioned by George and Clifton Lewis, who sought a comfortable house for their large family that fit within their modest budget. Completed in 1954, the home features an unusual "hemicycle" form—a shape that the designer briefly experimented with at the end of his career. Now, a fundraising campaign aims to acquire, restore, and open the house to the public.
The Spring House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1979. Pictured here is the home as viewed from the street.

While the home has fallen into disrepair, the Spring Houe Institute hopes to raise funds to restore the structure and turn it into a public facility.
