The Palmer House, built for Bill and Mary Palmer and designed by America's most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, is still very much intact. It's an example of one of his Usonian homes.

Finished in 1952, the house has a unique triangular geometry and one of Wright's signature cantilevered roofs.
