    The Rosenbaum House is the only Frank Lloyd Wright home in the state of Alabama. As a bit of a Frank Lloyd Wright-phile, I try to visit as many as I can when I travel. And the Rosenbaum House? It's in Florence, Alabama, which is a great day trip from Nashville (where I currently live). So I packed up the car with my husband and a friend, and we made a day of it! The Rosenbaum House was designed by FLW for a young couple, and it has the distinction of being the only FLW house for which he also designed an addition (the Rosenbaums had four sons and needed more space). A great example of FLW's Usonion style, the house is definitely worth a day trip to visit! The house is stunning (grid system, Alabama and other regional materials, some original FLW furniture, lots of bookshelves and fascinating and functional storage). When you drive up, you park and purchase your tickets ($10 per adult) at the old school across the street from the house. The tours begin on the hour. Our tour guide was great. He had a personal connection to the house (Mr. Rosenbaum had been a professor of his at college and he had been invited over to the house for milk and cookies and Don Quixote) and was extremely knowledgeable about FLW and the home. The ticket area also has a gift shop (we might have spent a little $$$). Whether you love FLW or are just curious to learn more about American architecture, the Rosenbaum House is well worth a visit! It's pretty unusual to find a FLW in this part of the country - and we're lucky the City of Florence saw the value in the home, bought it from Mrs. Rosenbaum, and spent the money to renovate the house (even after a building inspector encouraged the city to just tear it down). It's a great day trip from Birmingham or Nashville (and lots of other places, too), or it'd be a great stop on a road trip! Check it out!

    Excellent unsung Frank Lloyd Wright property. Extraordinary examples of his attention to detail. Fretwork was amazing. Guide was quite knowledgeable and had his own personal history with the town and homeowners. A must-see spot when you're in the area.

    House view from the street.

    It is a beautifully restored FLW Usonian home, with an addition designed by Wright 8 years after the original construction.
