Visit Frank Lloyd Wright’s Rosenbaum House Museum

Architecture enthusiasts should add a visit to Frank Lloyd Wright's Rosenbaum House Museum to their Alabama bucket list. The single-family home was built in 1940 for Stanley and Mildred Rosenbaum and is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The only Wright building in Alabama and one of only 26 pre-World War II Usonian residences, it is a notable example of his Usonian house concept. According to Wright scholar John Sergeant, it is "the clearest example of the Usonian."

The Rosenbaums lived in the house until 1999, when they donated it to Florence, Alabama. The house, which is a prime example of Wright's Usonian style, was designed to be both economical and functional, and it is the first of dozens of such Usonian residences.

Take a tour of the Rosenbaum House to see its Wright-designed furniture, multilevel steel-cantilevered roofs, and Wright's creative use of natural cypress wood materials. Another distinguishing characteristic of the Rosenbaum House is the extensive use of glass and natural materials, which allows each room to merge in with the surrounding natural environment and create an indoor/outdoor living experience.
