The Olfelts did not initially seek Frank Lloyd Wright to design their home, but reading about what they were looking for in a home makes it seem inevitable.

From the early days of our marriage my wife and I hoped to build a home to satisfy our family needs and our desire to live in a place of beauty. This did not necessarily mean luxury, vastness or automatic splendor. We hoped for a refuge from the world for part of our day, a place where we could enjoy nature and the beauty of man’s creativeness in harmony with nature. We wanted a home that by virtue of its character would help us and our children be dissatisfied with the ordinary.

This home is one of the last designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, final working drawings were received shortly before his death in 1959. Their sons will be present for this tour.
