Built in 1962 in Polo, Illinois, this recently restored house was designed by Verne Lars Solberg who studied under Bruce Goff at the University of Oklahoma in 1949. It is quite beautiful and the restoration was done very well. All photos below were taken from vernelarssolberg.com where even more photos and information about this remarkable house may be found… including blueprints! The house, which is currently on the market, is listed on Zillow.
Very cool! I’m originally from Illinois, and have heard of this house, but had not seen it or photos before this.
Coincidentally, one of my favorite podcasts recently did several episodes on Wright’s Usonian movement. I think you may enjoy them, as well as the show in general:

I finally got to listen to these two podcasts tonight… thank you!!! I really enjoyed them and learned some more about Wright. The concept of the Usonian house seems even better suited to our present times than when he was designing them!
Glad you enjoyed them!
