Dr. Richard Davis House, Frank Lloyd Wright residential design in Washington Township, Indiana, United States.
The Dr. Richard Davis House is a 1955 single-family home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Marion, Indiana, built around a hexagonal central core from which wings extend outward. The structure uses tidewater cypress wood and concrete block masonry, and the property also includes a guest house and utility buildings.
Wright designed the house after meeting Dr. Richard Davis at Mayo Clinic in 1950, when Wright was there as a patient. The house was completed five years later and is one of the last residences Wright finished before his death in 1959.
The house belongs to Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian line, which aimed to bring thoughtful home design within reach of ordinary American families. Walking through the rooms, visitors can notice how spaces open into one another without walls closing them off, giving even modest areas a sense of flow.
The property sits north of Marion, Indiana, along Overlook Road in Washington Township, and is most easily reached by car. The current owner Matthew Harris opens the house for overnight stays, so visitors can experience the rooms as a living space rather than viewing them through a tour alone.
Wright laid out the house on a hexagonal grid, which means there is not a single right angle anywhere in the floor plan. This geometric choice shapes every corner and junction in the building, which visitors notice immediately when moving from one room to the next.
