Stuart Richardson House

The Stuart Richardson House, affectionately known as 'Scherzo', is a remarkable Usonian home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1951, located in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. Built for actuary Stuart Richardson and his family, this unique residence features a hexagonal floor plan, a striking triangular living space with an inverted truss pyramidal ceiling, and extensive use of natural materials like red brick and tidewater cypress. Surrounded by a picturesque landscape with ponds and waterfalls, the house offers a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living through its numerous French doors and terraces. The home has been meticulously restored, preserving Wright's original furnishings and design elements, making it a significant example of mid-20th century architecture just 20 miles from Manhattan.
