Zimmerman House Public Tours
|
|
The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Zimmerman House is the only residence in New England designed by the architect open to the public.
Wright designed the Zimmerman House in his classic Usonian style in 1950, planning its gardens, its built-in and freestanding furniture, its textiles, and even the mailbox.
The Zimmerman House offers a glimpse into the 1950s - 1960s, and the private lives of Isadore and Lucille Zimmerman, who lived in the home for 36 years.
