Jack Lamberson House

The Jack Lamberson House is a residential structure built in 1951 based on Frank Lloyd Wright's designs and located in Oskaloosa, Iowa. The structure features 60 and 120-degree angles, continuous horizontal lines, and a low-pitched roof that extend outward, giving the building its distinctive angular form.

The house was built in 1951 and belongs to a group of seven Usonian homes that Wright designed in Iowa. Two of these homes were built in Oskaloosa, making the town an important center for Wright's experimental residential architecture.

The house is named after its original owner and reflects Wright's belief that thoughtfully designed living spaces should be accessible to ordinary families. Visitors can see how the open layouts and natural materials he favored were meant to shape the daily life of those living here.

The house sits on about 2 acres of land on North Park Avenue and is visible from outside. Since it is a private residence, visitors should check in advance how to view the site.

The house belongs to Wright's Usonian movement, an approach to creating quality homes for middle-income people. The precise mathematical proportions of its angular geometry create an illusion of larger interior spaces than the structure's actual size.
