With beautiful materials in poetic composition, the Alvin Miller house is a very fine example of Frank Lloyd Wright T s Usonian Work. At approximately 1250 square feet it is the smallest of the Iowa Usonians. The Miller house is located on a double city lot in a modest residential neighborhood of Charles City. Charles City is the county seat of Floyd County, in northern Iowa. The property, less than one acre, lies on the right bank of the Red Cedar River. Dammed downstream, the river here is wide and slow flowing. The house is set diagonally on the square lot. To the northwest the property adjoins a quiet city park, to the northeast retaining walls step down to the river's edge. A small house by most standards, the Miller house is comfortably open and unconfined. The spaces of the entry, living room, dining area, and kitchen open one into another around a centrally located fireplace. Clerestories lend definition to these rooms, manipulating the scale and sense of spaciousness. A glass wall on the east side of the living room opens this room to the river view. Glass doors here and in the opposite wall open onto a terrace and lawns; the bedrooms were originally designed to open similarly to the outdoors. While opening the inside to the outside, the Miller house still maintains privacy from its neighbors. Facing the street are the carport and the high-windowed exterior wall of the bedroom wing gallery. The Miller house is built of limestone, concrete, glass, plaster, and red tidewater cypress—inside and out. The house was designed on a M'-6" x V-6" grid. In plan, the living room is at a right angle to the bedroom wing, with the kitchen at the center. Somewhat defying the polliwog analogy, a bedroom on the east side of the house, originally designed as a study or guest room, makes this plan "T-shaped." The Miller house is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house with no attic, no basement, and no garage. The carport provides cover for only one automobile. An ample horseshoe drive south of the house accommodates the household's other vehicles and allows visitors to park off the street. A continuous limestone retaining wall wraps the north and east sides of the house with stone steps leading down to a limestone terrace with fireplace, table and benches, boat slip at the river's edge, and an underground garden house all of grotto-like construction. While generally following Wright's plan for the retaining walls, much of this sitework was not designed by Wright, and none was supervised by the architect. The Miller house is built on disturbed soil, on the site of an earlier house. The foundation is Wright's system for the "dry wall footing." Grade beams are approximately 11" wide and are held below finished grade. Below the concrete grade beams are the trench footings of gravel. William Miller recalled that these trenches were 5'-0" to 6'-0" deep, well below the frost line. The stone walls above are 1^"- NPS Fown 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________CFN-259-1116 wide cavity walls with fiber-board insulation in the cavity. Walls throughout the house are dimensioned from the *J f -6" x V-6" grid: "Masonry walls and partitions have one face on unit or half unit." In addition to exterior stone walls and the floor-to-ceiling glass walls in the living room and bedrooms, the design of the Miller house also includes thin exterior walls of wood construction. In the drawings these wood walls are shown to be built of flat 2" x il" studs, with 2" x 2" headers and sill plates. The walls are finished with plaster on either side and trimmed with a cypress base molding both inside and out. The main exterior wall of the front facade is a plastered wood wall. Interior partitions throughout the house are similar. The floor throughout most of the Miller house is a red concrete slab, specified on the drawings as 3 1/2" thick, laid over a bed of gravel approximately 5 1/2" deep. The pipes of the radiant heat system are laid in the gravel beneath the slab. The surface of the slab is scored with the 4 f -6" x 4 T -6" grid.

Wright believed in designing structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by his design for Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".[1] Wright was a leader of the Prairie School movement of architecture and developed the concept of the Usonian home, his unique vision for urban planning in the United States. His work includes original and innovative examples of many different building types, including offices, churches, schools, Born Frank Lincoln Wright skyscrapers, hotels, and museums. Wright June 8, 1867 also designed many of the interior Richland Center, Wisconsin elements of his buildings, such as the furniture and stained glass.

  • Modern Domestic Architcture in and Around Ithaca, Ny: the “Fallingwaters” of Raymond Viner Hall
    MODERN DOMESTIC ARCHITCTURE IN AND AROUND ITHACA, NY: THE “FALLINGWATERS” OF RAYMOND VINER HALL A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Mahyar Hadighi January 2014 © 2014 Mahyar Hadighi ABSTRACT This research examines the role of Modern architecture in shaping the American dream through the work of a particular architect, Raymond Viner Hall, a Frank Lloyd Wright follower, in Ithaca, NY. Modernists’ ideas and Modern architecture played significant roles in the twentieth century post-depression urban history. Although the historic part of historic preservation does not commonly refer to twentieth century architecture, mid-century Modern architecture is an important part of the history and its preservation is important. Many of these mid-century Modern examples have already been destroyed, mainly because of lack of documentation, lack of general public knowledge, and lack of activity of advocacy groups and preservationists. Attention to the recent past history of Ithaca, New York, which is home of Cornell University and the region this research survey focuses on, is similarly not at the level it should be. Thus, in an attempt to begin to remedy this oversight, and in the capacity of a historic preservation-planning student at Cornell (with a background in architecture), a survey documenting the Modern architecture of the area was conducted. In the process of studying the significant recent history of Ithaca, a very interesting local adaptation of Wrightian architecture was discovered: the projects of Raymond Viner Hall (1908-1981), a semi-local Pennsylvanian architect, who was a Frank Lloyd Wright follower and son of the chief builder of Fallingwater.
