The famous Dudley Spencer House in Wilmington, the only Frank Lloyd Wright designed home in Delaware, has been listed for sale with an asking price of just $1.3 million. The private Usonian house has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
According to Curbed, the home is one of Wright's last commissions as he built the home in 1956, just three years before he passed away in 1959. He christened the house "Laurel". The home is built in typical Wright style with a dominant curvilinear form.
