A Frank Lloyd Wright house in Tulsa has just listed for $7.995 million following a two-year restoration, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports. The home, known as Westhope, was designed by Wright in the late 1920s for his cousin, Richard Lloyd Jones, a publisher for the Tulsa Tribune. The property is listed by Rob Allen of Sage Sotheby’s International Realty, and according to the WSJ, Stuart Price, a commercial real-estate investor, is the seller.
Located in the Greater Oakview neighborhood, the home is largely defined by an expansive façade, which makes use of Wright’s innovative “textile block” system (a building method that involved stacking patterned concrete blocks together to build a structure’s walls). Westhope is the only Wright project outside of California to use this style, the most famous example of which is likely the Ennis House in Los Angeles. Aside from the blocks, the façade also features thousands of glass panes that bring the outdoor scenery inside. At 10,400 square feet, the five-bedroom home is one of the largest the architect ever designed. It was included on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
