frank lloyd wright's westcott house

My son was studying architecture at the time, and we took relatives and toured the house. It was fun, a lot of walking for elderly folks and people like me with a bad back, but enjoyable. There were places to sit down from time to time so that helped.

Thank you so much for your feedback! Please consider coming back soon. Happy 2015!

I am so glad you and your grandchildren enjoyed your visit! Indeed, we are planning to introduce more furnishings soon, in addition to what was reconstructed based on original Wright drawings in 2005. Thank you again and happy 2015!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our site. We are so glad you enjoyed the visit and interaction with our docent - our volunteers and staff are eager to hear the feedback from the guests. Happy 2015!

Thank you so much for taking the time and posting this review! We appreciate you spreading the word! Often visitors are surprised just how much great architecture we have in this area - in addition to Wright, many public and residential works by other famous architects. Next time check out our Summer Tour Series, which include walking, bicycle, youth and Happy Hour tours covering all kind of neighborhoods, landmarks and fascinating stories. I think you would enjoy them as well! Again, many thanks and please visit us again!

Thank you so much for taking the time and posting your review! We really appreciate it! These reviews are shared with our docents, so we will emphasize how much our visitors like to experience the front terrace. Usually the docents take the guests outside (weather permitting), but I suspect they avoided that area because of some stucco repair work (which is now done). Hopefully you can return and enjoy many of our events as well!!! Also, over the next year we will be performing a feasibility study for the potential expansion of our site, so any ideas on a visitor perspective and what else you would like to see on the site would be greatly appreciated! You can share your thoughts with us by e-mailing: mwojcik@westcotthouse.org or info@westcotthouse.org! All the best!!!!

Thank you so much for your feedback!!! We really appreciate it and we are so happy to hear that you and your daughter enjoyed your experience here! It is also very valuable to us to hear specifically about your experience with our staff and volunteers - so pleased to hear you enjoyed your interactions, it means a lot to us. Great recommendation on "The Wright 3", "The Calder Game", and "Chasing Vermeer"! We should definitely carry these in our museum store. There is a local middle-school that always reads "The Wright 3" before coming here for their annual field trip - it really does help kids to better connect with these landmarks!

Thank you so much for taking time to write this post. We are so glad you were able to come to the Westcott House while visiting your hometown!!! Please visit again!

Thank you for visiting and for your valuable feedback! We have many visitors who have toured a large number of Wright sites, so it is always interesting to hear the unique things that people like about each one of them. The Westcott House has had a very dramatic life and the disrepair was so extensive we almost lost it. So the restoration of the main house, garage, the pasture and gardens was truly a timely intervention and a successful one! The furniture was removed a long time ago, so we are still trying to do a lot of research to find out what we could possibly find/add to our collection. Of course, we are incredibly grateful for anything that remained (huge Wright "signature" urns, some light fixtures, built-in walking closets f.ex.) and for a fantastic set of original drawings that allowed the reconstruction of the splendid dining table, a bookcase, buffet, kitchen furniture, inglenook benches, and our cute children playroom set, among other details. We actually just celebrated an exciting discovery - three out of eight original stained glass cabinet doors surfaced at one of the local auctions and we were able to purchase them! They are now on display and we will plan on permanently installing them after some repair work. But the work continues (like with every old house :) Please consider visiting again! Safe travels!
