"Built in 1956, the Frank Lloyd Wright Bachman–Wilson House is an iconic piece of mid-century residential architecture designed in Wright's unique Usonian style. The home was originally constructed in New Jersey on the bank of the Millstone River, but unfortunately, its location meant that it was threatened by periodic flooding. The building was carefully restored by architects Lawrence and Sharon Tarantino in the late 1980s, and in 2013 it was purchased by the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and relocated to Arkansas."
"Located on the grounds of the aforementioned Crystal Bridges Museum, the Bachman-Wilson house was designed by famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Like most of his creations, it was built in a way that blends as seamlessly as possible with the natural world.
