John C. Pew House, Private residence in Shorewood Hills, Wisconsin, US.
The two-story house extends down a sloping hill near Lake Mendota, featuring limestone support on one end and ground anchoring on the other end.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residential structure in 1938 for research chemist John Pew and his wife Ruth, with construction supervision by William Wesley Peters.
The residence represents the Usonian architectural movement, which focused on creating economical living spaces while maintaining high design standards in mid-century America.
The house spans 1,300 square feet and sits at coordinates 43°04′53″N 89°27′25″W, positioned at a 30-degree angle to maximize views of Lake Mendota.
William Wesley Peters compared it to Fallingwater, prompting Wright to declare that Fallingwater was actually the wealthy version of the Pew House.
