Toufic H. Kalil House, Residential museum in North End, Manchester, United States.
The Toufic H. Kalil House is a residential building in Manchester's North End designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The structure uses concrete blocks for construction and contains bedrooms, a study, and a dining area on a compact footprint.
Wright designed this house in 1955 as one of seven experimental residential projects using prefabricated parts and standardized materials. This building method was meant to show that quality architecture could work within average budgets.
The house shows how Wright wanted to create affordable homes for ordinary families after the war. Visitors can see how the thoughtful layout of rooms was meant to support daily life.
The house is managed by the Currier Museum of Art and is open to visitors through guided tours where you can examine the original furnishings and architectural details. Plan enough time to explore the building both inside and out.
Another Wright house, the Zimmerman House, stands on the same street, allowing visitors to compare two different interpretations of his housing concept side by side. This location offers a rare look at Wright's experimental work on residential projects.
