Wingspread for Tuesday's Treasures

 Frank Lloyd Wright - Wingspread - 1939

a National Historic Landmark

Wind Point - Wisconsin.

Wingspread, also known as the Herbert F. Johnson House, is a historic house at 33 East Four Mile Road in Wind Point, Wisconsin.

It was built in 1938–39 to a design by Frank Lloyd Wright for Herbert Fisk Johnson Jr., then the president of S.C. Johnson, and was considered by Wright to be one of his most elaborate and expensive house designs to date.

It consists of a central hub, from which four long arms radiate. Each of the wings originally housed a different function: parents' wing, children's wing, service wing, and guest wing, with the public spaces in the center. The hub appears as a domed structure, with clerestory windows on the sides, and a viewing platform at the top.

The house, at 14,000 sq feet, is one of the largest of Wright-designed homes. It also considered to be the last of Wright's Prairie School inspired designs, and was one of his most expensive residential designs.

The Johnson family donated the property to The Johnson Foundation in 1959 as an international educational conference facility. It is also open to the public for tours.

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
