Francis W. Little House II

The Francis W. Little House II, designed by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1912, is a notable example of Prairie School architecture located in Deephaven, Minnesota. This two-story house, characterized by its low profile and interconnected pavilions, was built for Francis W. and Mary Little, who sought a vacation home overlooking Lake Minnetonka. After facing demolition in 1972, the house was saved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which purchased and dismantled it. Today, significant parts of the house are displayed in various museums, including the living room in the Met's American Wing and the library at the Allentown Art Museum, making it a fascinating site for tourists and researchers interested in architectural history and preservation.
