Gordon House, Usonian residence in Silverton, United States.
The Gordon House features 2,133 square feet of living space with twelve-foot floor-to-ceiling windows and glass French doors connecting interior with exterior spaces.
Constructed in 1957 for Evelyn and Conrad Gordon near Wilsonville, the house was relocated to Oregon Garden in 2001 to prevent its demolition.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residence as part of his Usonian concept, creating functional housing solutions for middle-income American families.
The Gordon House Conservancy maintains the property and offers guided tours at 12 p.m., 1 p.m., and 2 p.m., with adult admission costing 20 dollars.
The structure employs a seven-foot square grid system with concrete block walls and incorporates custom patterned wood cutout window lattices throughout the design.

Frank Lloyd Wright developed one of the most influential architectural styles of the 20th century over seven decades of practice. His buildings connect interior spaces with surrounding landscapes through horizontal lines, natural materials, and open floor plans. From the Prairie Houses of the Midwest to the post-war Usonian homes, Wright created designs that transformed American residential architecture. His major works include Fallingwater, built over a waterfall in Pennsylvania, the Guggenheim Museum in New York with its spiral ramp, and the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which survived the great 1923 earthquake. The Robie House in Chicago demonstrates his Prairie School principles, while Taliesin West in Arizona served as his winter home and architecture school. His structures are located across the United States, Japan, and Europe, demonstrating his vision of organic architecture that works in harmony with nature.
