John D. Haynes House

The John D. Haynes House is a residential building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Fort Wayne, constructed in 1952 with red cypress wood walls and local brick elements. The asymmetrical structure with a gabled roof contains a large living space, music room, and three bedrooms connected through a central gallery.

The residence was completed in 1952 as one of Wright's final residential projects in the United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 and designated as a Local Historic District in 2008.

The residence demonstrates Wright's approach to building in harmony with its surroundings, using local materials and rooms designed to capture light and connect with nature. Visitors can observe how interior spaces open widely to the outdoors through generous windows and flowing layouts.

The property sits on a generous lot where you can view the architecture and materials clearly from the exterior. You can take time to observe the building details and room arrangement from different angles around the grounds.

The central gallery connects unusually to the middle of the great room instead of running along the side as in other Wright designs. This arrangement creates a different flow through the house and shows Wright's willingness to experiment even in his later projects.
