4 Frank Lloyd Wright Homes for Sale (and They’re Awesome)

It’s the 150th birthday anniversary of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and some of his architectural pieces of history are up for sale. We get to do a virtual open house and peak inside four Frank Lloyd Wright homes for sale.

All of Wright’s homes were designed using his theory of “organic architecture.” He wanted his homes to strike the harmonious balance between architecture and nature. The best example of his work is Fallingwater, built in 1935.
