Frank Lloyd Wright's Laurent House
4646 Spring Brook Rd., Rockford, IL 61114
Museums
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Laurent House in Rockford, Illinois is the only building ever designed by the famed architect for a person with a disability.
Kenneth and Phyllis Laurent commissioned and lived in the home from 1952 until early 2012, when it was acquired by a private foundation and added to the National Register of Historic Places. This single-story Usonian home is both functional and beautiful, decades ahead of ADA accessibility requirements. The home features a solar hemicycle footprint, patio, fishpond, carport, and outdoor connectivity to the natural landscape. The modest home is built of Chicago Common Brick and Red Tidewater Cypress and much of the labor and materials were sourced locally from Rockford. Visit the website for tour dates and times. Reservations are required for all tours. Parking is available directly across the street from the house at 4627 Spring Brook Road Illinois 250
