Bachman-Wilson House
Originally built along New Jersey’s Millstone River in 1954, one of Wright's economical Usonian homes is now reconstructed in Arkansas, on the Crystal Bridges Museum grounds.
In 2013, Crystal Bridges Museum acquired a classic “Usonian” house designed by celebrated American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed in 1954. Known as the Bachman-Wilson House, the structure is being dismantled at its original site in Somerset County, New Jersey, to be reconstructed on the Museum grounds overlooking Crystal Spring.
Crystal Bridges Museum was designed by internationally renowned architect Moshe Safdie, who envisioned a building that would complement the surrounding Ozark landscape. Nestled into a natural ravine, the Museum integrates the element of water on the site through the creation of two spring-fed ponds that are spanned by two signature bridge structures and surrounded by a group of pavilions housing Museum galleries and studios.
