Rev. Jesse R. Zeigler House (Frank Lloyd Wright house)



2022-07-20 - Shelby Street, Frankfort, KY - Photo by Pen.
The design for this house came from a chance shipboard meeting in 1910 of Rev. Zeigler of this city with Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959), the internationally known architect. The Presbyferian minister had local contractor Scott begin construction that year. This is an example of Wright's "prairie house," utilizing open floor plans.

Famous primarily as a residence architect, Wright also planned many impressive public structures, including the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and Guggenheim Museum in New York City. This is the only building of his design erected in Kentucky during his lifetime. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Commonwealth of Kentucky Historical Marker 1726
