in conjunction with the special exhibit, “East Lansing Modern, 1940-1970,” at the MSU Museum through Aug. 18.
The Goetsch-Winckler House in Okemos, Mich., is a compact, one-story Usonian house with signature Frank Lloyd Wright design elements: organic relationship to the site, horizontal planes, cantilever roofs, and the embodiment of Wright’s early design philosophy for moderately priced housing.
Designed for MSU art professors, the Goetsch-Winckler House is on the National Register of Historic Places and is the second of Wright’s Usonian house designs.
