Kendal Trip to Usonia Historic District
A hearty band of Kendalites braved the cold for a tour of Pleasantville’s Usonia Historic District whose houses were designed by students of Frank Lloyd Wright. Three houses were designed by Wright himself. The group was able to tour one of the Wright-designed homes, still occupied by its original owner, 100-year-old Roland Reisley. He discussed Wright’s approach to home design, including details in his own house, such as angles, geometric shapes, horizontal lines, and large windows, using materials such as wood and stone.
