The 1950s cypress-and-brick farmhouse, meticulously restored by Mike and Sarah Petersdorf, has received several preservation accolades. |
|
Owners Sarah and Mike Petersdorf have turned the restored home into a bed and breakfast for architecture buffs. |
|
Guests at the Muirhead Farmhouse have included Frank Lloyd Wright's grandson, Eric. |
|
The massive brick hearth and built-in shelves are classic Wright touches in the open, sunny living room. |
|
Rejuvenating the home's façade included stripping paint from the cypress cornice and pergola. |
|
The commodious kitchen is typical of Wright's Usonian designs. |
|
Using leftover cypress plywood and original plans, Mike has built several pieces of the furniture Wright designed for the house. |
|
Warm cypress built-in shelves and cabinets make this compact bedroom a cozy and welcoming space. |
|
Rigorously functional, the home's main bathroom features a high ceiling that adds an understated sense of luxury. |
|
The home's distinctive red floors were replicated using a topcoat nearly identical to the original material. |
|
The dining room, with its corner windows offering views of the landscape, was designed to accommodate both family and farmhands. |
