Goetsch-Winckler House
The Goetsch-Winckler House, (also known as Goetsch-''Winkler'' House), was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, built in 1940, and is located at 2410 Hulett Rd, Okemos, Michigan. The house is an example of Wright's later Usonian architectural style, and is considered to be one of the most elegant.〔Brendan Gill, ''Many Masks'', p.406, Da Capo Press; 1998.〕
== History ==
In the 1930s eight professors from Michigan State University, in neighboring East Lansing, formed a co-op and bought a forty acre〔Robert C. Twombly, ''Frank Lloyd Wright: His Life and His Architecture'', p.263-265, Wiley-Interscience; 1987.〕 tract of land in Okemos.〔Caroline Knight, ''Frank Lloyd Wright'', p. 158, Parragon; 2004.〕 Two of them, Alma Goetsch and Kathrine Winckler (or Winkler), approached Wright asking him to design a community for them.〔 Wright's concept, derived from the Broadacre City plan, was to be known as Usonia I.〔 The community was to consist of seven houses and a caretaker's cottage surrounding a common farm, orchard, and fish pond.〔 Access to the houses was by a U shaped road around the farm, with each house at the end of a long driveway and each with a private garden.〔 Although the design of each house varied, they did share common features such as flat roofs, accentuated horizontal lines, and simple massing.〔Leland M. Roth, ''American Architecture: A History'', p.388, Westview Press; 2003.〕 Due to lack of financing, the project collapsed and only the Goetsch-Winckler House was built〔 on a different site.〔
After World War II, Wright designed houses separately for several other co-op members, although the only design built was that for Erling P. Brauner,〔 also in Okemos less than a mile and a half from Goetsch-Winckler House.〔(Directions )〕
