Frank Lloyd Wright, architect. 2 stories, masonry and frame, plan of the house is characterized by both concentric and intersecting circles. The only home designed by Wright within Florida, it is associated with the architect's last and shortest stylistic phase, called Hemicycle. Private. N.R. 1979."
From the

The home is privately owned and along the wooded driveway is a sign that says "Posted Keep Out". We got as close as we could without trespassing.
