Usonian Style [1]
Typically associated with modern architecture of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, Usonia as a concept actually goes back to the turn of the 20th century.

 


Usonian architecture grew out of Frank Lloyd Wright's earlier Prairie style homes. Both styles featured low roofs and open living areas. Both styles made abundant use of brick, wood, and other natural material.
