Albert and Edith Adelman House

The Albert and Edith Adelman House extends 170 feet in length and features buff-colored concrete blocks, cypress wood, and cedar shake roofing with wide overhangs.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residential structure in 1948 for Albert Adelman, son of Milwaukee businessman Benjamin Adelman, with a construction budget of 75,000 dollars.

The residence demonstrates Wright's Usonian architectural principles through its horizontal lines, open floor plan, and integration with the natural surroundings of the wooded ravine.

The 2,600-square-foot house contains five bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and central living area, positioned on a 2.5-acre lot near Lake Michigan.

The 2015 renovation by Kubala Washatko Architects included the addition of a swimming pool and pool house in an area originally designated by Wright for these features.
