Title:
James & Dolores Edwards Residence Floor Plan and Two
Perspectives (1949 - S.313).
Description: Designed in 1949 by Frank Lloyd
Wright. James Edwards was an engineer for the Oldsmobile. He
read an article by Loren Pope and contacted Frank Lloyd Wright
in 1948. They proceeded and the house was completed in 1952.
Constructed of brick, cypress and a floor of concrete. The
carport, workspace and bedroom wing are L-shaped, with the
living room turned 60 degrees starting at the carport, forming a
triangle. The entrance is reached at the end of the carport,
down a few stairs to covered porch. Doors open into the entrance
hall and living room. On the far end, windows cover three sides
of the living room. The fireplace mass on the South wall also
serves the dining area. Wright placed the dining room on the
opposite side of the fireplace adjacent to the workspace,
separated by a halfway. The workspace is opposite the entrance.
A terrace runs the full length of the bedroom wing, and is
accessed from the living room, dining room and two bedrooms. The
original plans included an extension at the end of the bedroom
wing that was completed by the Taliesin Associate Architects in
1968. Text: “House for a Mr. and Mrs. James Edwards. East
Lansing, Michigan. Frank Loyd Wright Architect.” Text lower

James & Dolores Edwards
Residence, Okemos, Michigan Exterior 2021 (1949 - S.313).
Set of 42 exterior photographs of the Edwards Residence.
Designed in 1949 by Frank Lloyd Wright. James Edwards was an
engineer for the Oldsmobile. He read an article by Loren
Pope and contacted Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948. They
proceeded and the house was completed in 1952.
Constructed
of brick, cypress and a floor of concrete. The carport,
workspace and bedroom wing are L-shaped, with the living
room turned 60 degrees starting at the carport, forming a
triangle. The entrance is reached at the end of the carport,
down a few stairs to covered porch. Doors open into the
entrance hall and living room. On the far end, windows cover
three sides of the living room. The fireplace mass on the
South wall also serves the dining area. Wright placed the
dining room on the opposite side of the fireplace adjacent
to the workspace, separated by a halfway. The workspace is
opposite the entrance. A terrace runs
the full length of the bedroom wing, and is accessed from
the living room, dining room and two bedrooms. The original
plans included
|
|
an extension at the end of the bedroom wing that was
completed by the Taliesin Associate Architects in 1968. On
this visit, vegetation was overgrown, making it difficult to
fully appreciate Wright’s design.
“Mr. Wright was great to work with. He treated us very well
all of the time – our relationship was superb.” James
Edwards. After living in the house for a year and a half
years, General Motors transferred him to Texas. An extensive
interview was published in Frank Lloyd Wright Remembered,
Meehan, 1991, p.100-103.
Set of 42 exterior photographs of the James Edwards
Residence photographed by Douglas M. Steiner on September
19, 2021. Our intent is to record the details that create
the totality of the design, creating a complete picture,
as-well-as the present condition of the home. In an effort
to expedite adding these photographs to this website, we
have dispensed with a description for each photograph.
