Built in 1929, this Modern house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his cousin Richard Lloyd Jones, publisher of the Tulsa Tribune, and is an example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Textile Block architecture. The house was an evolution of Wright’s design philosophy away from the earlier Prairie School, partially inspired by Wright’s work on the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. Westhope is the only Textile Block House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright outside of California. The house is built of concrete blocks with vertical window bays, metal mullions, multi-story glass solariums, a complex roofline ‹
