United States historic place
The
Douglas and Charlotte Grant House
is a historic building located in
Marion, Iowa
, United States. Located on 40 acres (16 ha) of land, this
Frank Lloyd Wright
designed
Usonian
-style dwelling was constructed from 1949 to 1951, with some construction continuing to about 1960. This is one of the first houses in Iowa built in this style, having been completed a year after the
Lowell E. Walter House
located near Quasqueton, Iowa.
[2]
The characteristics that mark this as a Wright-designed house include: the house integrated into the site and opened to the outdoors; the use of window walls and horizontal bands of windows; natural lighting and ventilation; use of natural materials; a horizontal emphasis in mass and proportion; a
car port
in place of a garage; slab-on-grade construction with radiant heat system embedded in the slab; a flat roof; an open-plan interior; varied ceiling heights on the interior; built-in
furniture; and 3 large scale fireplaces with a central hearth.
[2]
The
limestone
for the house was quarried by the owners on the property. The house was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places
in 1988.
