The Affleck House was the first Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house to be built in the metropolitan Detroit area and represents one of the finest examples in the world of the architect’s Usonian style. Designed to exist in harmony with the home’s site and nature, it was part of Wright’s attempt to meet the need for low-cost housing for the average American. The house was placed on the Michigan Register of Historic Places in 1978 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, and the Michigan Society of Architects includes it among Michigan’s 50 most significant structures. The house was donated to Lawrence Technological University in 1978 for use as a teaching resource for the University’s College of Architecture and Design faculty and students.
* This home is not handicap accessible, and the tour includes several steps and some uneven ground.
