Bernard Schwartz House, Frank Lloyd Wright residential design in Two Rivers, United States.
The Bernard Schwartz House is a residential design by Frank Lloyd Wright built with red brick and cypress wood across two levels. The interior features open floor plans and functional design, with custom-made furniture created specifically for the space.
The house was created in the late 1930s through a collaboration between Life Magazine and The Architectural Forum as part of their Dream Houses series. It marked a turning point in Wright's effort to design modern, affordable homes for everyday Americans.
The house embodies Wright's Usonian philosophy, which aimed to provide affordable homes for middle-income families, and you can see this approach reflected in how the spaces flow together and connect.
The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and can be viewed from the outside to observe its architectural features. Visitors should take time to study the facade and overall form, which clearly show Wright's design principles in action.
The house contains one of the oldest continuously operating in-floor heating systems in the United States, installed when the house was first built. This system demonstrates how Wright integrated comfort and modern technology into an affordable home design.
