The Laurent House is the only home ever designed by the famous architect to accommodate a physically-challenged individual, the “Little Gem” – as Wright himself referred to it – is a Usonian built of three main materials: exterior of Chicago common brick, concrete floors painted Cherokee Red and tidewater red cypress wood; the ceilings are plaster. Except for two barrel chairs, a piano and piano bench, all the furniture was designed by Wright and stick-built on site by a carpenter.
