GEORGE & CLIFTON LEWIS RESIDENCE EXTERIOR 2020
   

Set of 23 photographs of the exterior of the Lewis Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for 1952. The home is a two-story, three bedroom, 1,500 square foot concrete block structure.
       George Lewis was the president of the Lewis State Bank, founded by his grandfather in 1856. After meeting Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948 at Florida Southern College, Mrs. Clinton Lewis asked him to design a house for their family. It was designed as a "hemicycle" in 1952 by Frank Lloyd Wright. The first "hemicycle" home Frank Lloyd Wright designed was the Jacobs II (1944). He also designed the Meyer (1948), Laurent (1949), Pearce (1950), Marden (1952), Llewellyn Wright (1953), George Lewis (1952), Cooke (1953), Rayward (1955) and the Spencer (1956). It is similar in design to the Llewellyn Wright house.
       Like the Jacobs II house, the living room is two story with an open hallway on the second level servicing the three bedrooms.
The kitchen is within the circular tower. One of the features Wright designed was a pool, fed from a natural spring on the property.

 

The house became known as "Spring House," although the pool was never built due to lack of funds, and the Lewis's busy schedule. Over the past few decades, the home has fallen into disrepair. In 2014, it was included in the National Trusts 11 most endangered Places.
       The home is now owned by the Lewis's daughter, Byrd Lewis Mashburn, who understandably was not as receptive to our quick stop to view her home, so we were unable to fully capture the essence to the design. We were only able to capture the "public side" of the home. She asked for a 24 hour notice which is not always conducive on a road trip.
       Photographed during a road trip from Florida to Seattle, by Douglas M. Steiner March 1, 2020. In an effort to expedite adding these photographs to this website, we have dispensed with a description for each photograph. Set of 23 high res 20 X 13.5 digital images.
