The Usonian Inn, Wisconsin
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright’s apprentice, J C Caraway, it was built in the 1950’s.
The building is listed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places and National Historic Register under the original name – Rest Heaven Motel.
According to the operators, “It’s perfect for Frank Lloyd Wright’s fans, it’s charming, build with the organic concept in mind, a sustainable property with green practices that combines the ambiance and nostalgia of the old era with a touch of modern and personalized services of today’s lifestyle’s expectations and comfort of your own home.”
Located in the heart of natural beauty of the Wisconsin River Valley, The Usonian Inn is a member of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The Usonian Inn LLC, originally named the Rest Haven Motel, was the first Highway lodging between Madison and LaCrosse WI on US Hwy 14. This hotel was conceived in 1950, open for business in 1952, refurbished in 1992, and went through a designer makeover in 2008.
The Usonian style, as conceived by Frank Lloyd Wright, is “architecture for everyone,” combining readily available materials and straight-forward construction in harmony with the natural settings; nowadays known as green, sustainable concept.
