The Bernard Schwartz House
In 1938 LIFE magazine
commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a dream home for an American family of
median income. The result was a Usonian house, an enduring model of modest-sized
residential architecture.
Two Rivers, Wisconsin business man,
Bernard Schwartz, read a Time magazine cover story on Frank Lloyd Wright.
Schwartz then saw Wright's Usonian house plans he entered in
LIFE and was
determined to have the "dream house" he had seen.
Wright obliged by expanding on the
LIFE magazine design, tailoring it to the larger more private lot Schwartz
had in Two Rivers. Schwartz was thrilled with his home which was created
from tide-water Cypress, red concrete floors and brick.
