| - This is a great place to tour if you love architecture. Having seen several other Frank Lloyd Wright homes, I must say I enjoyed this one the best because the guides were friendly and you really got a feel for the home and FLW's vision. Unlike many of his other properties, here you can sit in the furniture and move about pretty freely, giving one full access to the lines of sight which are so integral in FLW's work.
The grounds are beautiful as well. The home is tucked away and only reveals itself once you are upon it, but the views of the desert and Scottsdale are stunning.
The only drawback is the cost. At $30 per person, it can be a little steep. But, if you enjoy architecture, the trip is well worth it.
As an aside, I also enjoyed the shop and bookstore, which sold lots of unique, art and architecture inspired housewares. There is no food or beverage service here, unlike some other local museums, so plan accordingly.
