Rosenbaum House

Rosenbaum House

I was skeptical of this attraction before I ever went to it. I looked at all the websites before I started my vacation and I thought that this one was obviously overrated. I think to myself that this is just a house, a middle class house. Sure, Frank Lloyd Wright was a great architect, but honestly, it's just a house.

Once I visited the site, I was impressed with the design. This is a very nicely designed and built middle-class home from 1939. The house is beautifully decorated; most of the furniture and decorations are a part of the design by Wright.

Having said all that, it is still just a middle-class home built in 1939. If this same home was built next to mine in 2006, it would sell for $50,000 less then mine as it doesn't have the features that we value today.

The site is now owned and maintained by the city of Florence. The guided tour is nice and walks you through the biggest features of the home.

I recommend this attraction for anyone interested in architecture. I also found this interesting as one who is designing the building of my own home.
