Frank Lloyd Wright's Allen House House Museum - Prairie style house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1916 for Henry J. and Elsie Allen, operated by the Allen House Foundation 501(c )(3).

Book your guided tour online today at flwrightwichita.org! Commissioned in 1916 and completed in 1918, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Allen House is named after its first owners, newspaper publisher Henry Allen and his wife, Elsie. It was the last of the architect’s famous brick prairie houses, which emphasized horizontal lines, earth tones and a continuous blending of interiors with exteriors. Architectural writers who have visited the house believe its living room is “one of the great rooms of the 20th century.” The home features more than 30 pieces of Wright-designed furniture, all of its original art glass and several new-for-their-time innovations, such as wall-hung water closets and an attached garage. Visit the site that USA Today considers one of the “10 great Frank Lloyd Wright home tours” in the nation. This beautiful home has been preserved as a museum thanks to the Allen House Foundation.

Pond restoration update!

Edwards Pool Construction have been on site the last couple of weeks removing, re-pouring and bracing the concrete on the north wall to repair the previous damage, which affected the overall stability of the structure, and caused a frequent reduction in water levels.

The steps have also been re-laid, and the bog pond will be left to cure over the weekend before the final coat is applied and the damaged brick work is replaced.

Allen House is open for guided tours while this important restoration work continues. See your money at work by booking a tour online at flwrightwichita.org, or call 316-687-1027.
