Frank Lloyd wright's Usonian houses, relatively modest single-family residences built between 1935 and 1964, pose unique challenges for 21st century preservationists. First, while often individually and locally celebrated, they are diffused across the U.S. landscape. As such, they are less likely to be collectively recognized as objects of study, cultural significance, and/or economic development. Second, their geographical distribution prevents fully leveraging proven preservation tools such as historic district designations. Third, their modest physical scales place them at risk for demolition or removal in favor of more spacious and luxurious residences. This research posits that a preserved Usonian house can be regarded as an object that both represents and generates social discourse. These discourses, sets of beliefs and assumptions regarding the geography, history, politics, and economics surrounding an object, make up a cultural landscape. once its component discourses are identified, a cultural landscape can be altered to better focus a given object toward a desired goal. In the case of a historical house, for example, such an effort could result in improved educational or interpretative programming, marketing outreach, and/or community relations. This research involves the case study investigation of eight Usonian structures currently preserved as house museums or vacation rentals, and, based on the opinions and experiences of stakeholders and caretakers of these properties, generates a set of recommended practices for the preservation of similar sites.
