TheRobert Llewellyn Wright House is a historic home located at 7927 Deepwell Drive inBethesda,Maryland. It is an 1800-square foot, two-story concrete-block structure designed by architectFrank Lloyd Wright in 1953, and constructed in 1957 for his sixth child, Robert Llewellyn Wright (1903–86), who worked at the Justice Department.[2]
TheUsonian house was designed using intersecting andconcentric segments of a circle, or "hemicycles". Initial designs were scrapped after the construction was too costly.[2]
The house can be seen from Deepwell Drive on a sloping lot that overlooks a stream. It is also visible from the Cabin John Stream Valley Trail, which follows theCabin John Creek below it. In1960, the grounds were landscaped byLloyd Wright, brother of the client and the son of the architect.
As of 2010, the house was inhabited by Tom Wright,[3] the grandson of Frank Lloyd Wright, and a volcano specialist.[2]
It is one of only two Wright-designed structures in Maryland; the other is theJoseph Euchtman House inBaltimore County.[4]
