Roland Reisley House

The Roland Reisley House is a residential home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Pleasantville with distinctive architectural features. The structure features cypress wood, natural stone walls, and a cantilevered wood roof that shelters the entrance area.

The home was completed in 1951 as part of an experimental community of affordable houses designed by Wright. Wright himself added an extension to the property in 1956, showing his continued involvement with the project.

The house reflects Wright's belief that homes should connect people with nature through thoughtful design. The geometric patterns and natural materials create a sense of flow between the interior and the landscape around it.

The property sits in a quiet residential neighborhood and is best experienced on foot. Advance notice is needed for visits since this is a lived-in private home, not a public museum.

The original owner Roland Reisley has lived there for over six decades and witnessed Wright's involvement in the expansion firsthand. His decades-long commitment to maintaining the home makes it a rare example of unbroken continuity with a modern architectural work.
