Samuel Freeman House by Frank Lloyd Wright

The Samuel Freeman House features walls built from twelve hundred custom textile concrete blocks, each patterned with a geometric design that catches the light differently throughout the day. When Samuel and Harriet Freeman hired Frank Lloyd Wright in nineteen twenty-three, they wanted a home that fit the rugged hillside. Wright used these cast-concrete blocks to create a structure that feels like it grew out of the earth itself. During the Great Depression, the Freemans turned their living room into a hub for leftist artists.
