The Rosenbaum House is the only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed structure in the state of Alabama. Designed in 1939 for Stanley and Mildred Rosenbaum, the Rosenbaum House is considered by many to be the purest example of Wright’s Usonian design.

The Rosenbaum House is constructed of cypress, glass and brick, and has been meticulously restored. Its flat roofs and large overhanging eaves, the expanses of glass and the flowing space are all hallmarks of a Usonian. Typical of many of Wright’s projects, the house also includes original furnishings designed by the architect.

The Rosenbaums were the sole owners and occupants until 1999, when the house was purchased by the City of Florence and opened as a museum.

The Historic Park Inn Hotel is designed in Wright’s Prairie style and retains many historic details while featuring modern amenities.
