The Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home, known as Fountainhead, has just been listed for $2.5 million in Jackson, Mississippi. Originally built in 1948 for oil speculator J. Willis Hughes, the house emphasizes natural integration with its surrounding environment through its unique parallelogram design. This three-bedroom residence spans more than 3,500 square feet and showcases the Usonian architectural style developed by Wright to offer affordable middle-class homes post-WWII. With its distinctive features like built-in furniture and absence of conventional walls, Fountainhead stands as a rare example of Wright's innovative vision.
"Fountainhead was built with no stud walls in the house, no Sheetrock, brick, tile, or paint and follows a unique design that reflects the surrounding landscape."
"The home was designed for a local oil speculator named J. Willis Hughes in 1948, reflecting a commitment to blending architecture with the environment."
