Jesse R. Zeigler House
Jesse R. Zeigler House, Prairie School residence in Frankfort, United States.
The Jesse R. Zeigler House is a single-family home designed in the Prairie School style, featuring strong horizontal lines, deep roof overhangs, and abundant windows. These windows allow daylight to pour into the interior spaces, defining the character of the rooms.
Built in 1910, the house came about after Reverend Jesse R. Zeigler and Frank Lloyd Wright met while traveling in Europe. This encounter led to the creation of this significant residential project.
The house reflects Frank Lloyd Wright's design philosophy of connecting homes with nature through materials and forms that work with the landscape. This approach shapes how the building sits on its site and relates to the surrounding area.
Located in Frankfort, Kentucky, the house remains a private residence and is not open to the public. You can appreciate the exterior design and how the building sits on its lot from the street to see Wright's characteristic style.
This house stands as the only Frank Lloyd Wright design constructed in Kentucky while the architect was still alive. This rarity makes it a particularly valuable example of Wright's work within the state.
