Sited on a river bluff amid native Burr Oaks and Sumac, in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis is an architectural treasure of global importance, the Malcolm Willey House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Preserved as a living space/house museum, the home is lightly used to preserve the subtle qualities of its pristine state for posterity. Original furnishings and vintage appliances lend context to the experience of visiting this early gem of modern architecture. The Willey House is a rare example of one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s total works of art, meticulously restored and preserved as originally designed.

Our ongoing mission is to share the house with students, architects, scholars and enthusiasts in as many ways as possible, always with the long-term interests of the house carefully considered.

The Historic restoration was privately funded. Now SPONSORED GROUP TOURS HELP SUPPORT THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION OF
THE PROPERTY.
