Burton J. Westcott House, Pergola and Garage
1340 East High Street Springfield, Ohio 45505-6101 937/327-9291 Open for public tours. Frank Lloyd Wright, 1905
Remodeled into apartments, the house received restorative repairs by last private owner Sherri Snyder and was purchased by the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy in September 2000 with the expressed intention of selling the property to a newly created local organization, the Westcott House Foundation. The Foundation has restored the house at a cost of $5,300,000, and opens it for tours Wednesday through Sunday.
Post-restoration photographs above taken by Westcott House volunteer Dennis Blazey on 15 October 2005, the first day the house was opened to the public.
