The primary goal of this thesis is to provide owners and stewards of Usonian homes with
as many possible resources to make informed maintenance and conservation decisions,
believing that in giving these resources to those most involved with the process these extant
Usonian homes will be preserved to the highest degree of integrity. It was vital that most of the
information come from homeowner’s themselves, as they have the most current, in-depth and
practical knowledge about common preservation concerns in the Usonian style of home. As a
part of this goal first hand knowledge from the Usonian homeowners were collected, analyzed,
and synthesized to develop a usable resource based on their experiences and additional
research and recommendation from professionals in the field. The secondary goal of this project is to contribute to the current database of the Frank
Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy on Usonian homes. The results of the survey will be included
in the database and will contribute to their mission. The Frank Lloyd Wright Building
Conservancy works to provide in-depth resources for homeowner’s as well as serves as one of
the premier advocates for the preservation of Wright’s extant buildings. As such, they offer
extensive practical preservation resources for all Wright homeowners. This paper, and the data
collected from the survey, will serve to increase their knowledge base and, therefore, their
ability to provide more in-depth resources to all homeowners, stewards, and scholars. / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu
