Description

Welcome to the Copeland House, built in 1873, remodeled in 1908 by Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright re-designed the exterior by adding a wrap around porch & a hip roof with steep overhangs. The front door entry is a piece of Frank Lloyd Wright art. The innovative interior is highlighted by horizontal bands, soaring ceilings and a Wright designed built-in dining room buffet. The interior epitomizes the height of the Prairie style and has been recognized in perpetuity by the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy....Welcome to the Copeland House, built in 1873, remodeled in 1908 by Frank Lloyd Wright.
