John and Syd Dobkins House, Frank Lloyd Wright residential design in Canton, United States.

The John and Syd Dobkins House features tall casement windows and doors that extend near the roofline, incorporating a geometric design based on equilateral triangles.

Constructed in 1954 under the supervision of Taliesin apprentice Allan J. Gelbin, this residence represents one of three Usonian houses Wright created in Canton.

The residence demonstrates Wright's Usonian philosophy of creating harmonious, affordable homes that integrate naturally with their environment through thoughtful architectural elements.

Located at 5120 Plain Center N.E., the property spans five acres and includes two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms within its modern design layout.

Wright developed a specific planting arrangement for the property, incorporating fourteen pin oak trees positioned strategically in relation to the house structure.

Location: Canton

Architects: Frank Lloyd Wright
