The Louis Penfield House is located at 2203 River Road in Willoughby Hills, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, United States. One of nine Usonian homes in Ohio designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Penfield House was built for the art teacher Louis Penfield. The two-story house is made of wood panels and concrete blocks, with large glass windows on the exterior. It includes an open-air carport, a combined living–dining–kitchen area on the first floor, and three bedrooms above the kitchen. Since Penfield wanted the house to accommodate his 6-foot-8-inch (203 cm) stature, the house has higher doorways than many other buildings designed by Wright. The house is on the National Register of Historic Places.
