Fountainhead, Modern residence in Jackson, US

Fountainhead is a modern residence in Jackson that combines horizontal lines and large windows with natural materials. The structure creates open spaces that link the interior with the property's surroundings and water features.

Oil businessman J. Willis Hughes hired Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948; the house was built from 1950 to 1954. Hughes lived there 25 years, and after his wife died in 1964 it fell into disrepair. Architect Robert Parker Adams bought it in 1979 and restored it, owning it for over 45 years until selling it to the Mississippi Museum of Art in 2025. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 28 November 1980.

Hughes named the house for the fountain outside the bedroom wing and for Ayn Rand's 1943 novel The Fountainhead. The house has always been a private residence and has never been open to the public; it was sold to the Mississippi Museum of Art in 2025.

Fountainhead stands at 306 Glenway Drive, at the corner of Woodland Drive in the Fondren neighbourhood, on a 0.97-acre slope that drops away from both streets. It has always been a private residence and was never opened to the public; it passed from Robert Parker Adams to the Mississippi Museum of Art in 2025. The Y-shaped plan and copper roof can be seen from the road, but the grounds are not open to visitors.

The home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, honoring its contribution to American residential design history. This recognition makes it a notable example of Wright's legacy in Mississippi.
