On the heels of the listing of the Eppstein House in Frank Lloyd Wright's usonian development known as The Acres, comes the listing of its neighbor to the north, the Fonken House. Designed by Taliesin Fellow Francis "Will" Willsey, the Fonken House was purchased earlier this year by the current seller who has done some rehabilitation including the installation of a new rubber roof.

(via Dezeen) Apropos of the recent listing of the Eppstein House comes word that the Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian "new construction" on the campus of Florida Southern College is now complete. The campus was originally designed by Wright and features a dozen Wright-designed structures. However, not all of the originally planned buildings were constructed prior his death in 1959. Among those were several Usonian homes that were to serve as faculty housing. In 2010 the College announced plans to finally construct one of those un-built designs and use it as a visitor center. 

Michael Maguire has a website documenting the construction.

via SWMRIC: The Samuel & Dorothy Eppstein House is being offered for sale. The Frank Lloyd Wright usonian is located in the Wright-designed development south of Galesburg known as The Acres. The Seller has been undertaking a professional "partial restoration" to the three bedroom, two bathroom house. Convenient access to I-94 makes the Eppstein House (and other homes in The Acres) especially attractive to non-local buyers.
