What makes RiverRock House so special is just how close it came to never being realized.
When construction started a year later, plans for a new interstate freeway threatened the land through eminent domain.
So Penfield reached back out to Wright to build a second home.
Wright died on April 9, 1959.
The design was found on the famed architects desk after his death.
Still, RiverRock remained on paper for decades.
The design and the artistic aspect of this home should remain the same as intended in 1959.
