Mission Statement
To educate the public on Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural approach and principles of organic architecture by preserving the only house in Oregon designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Description
The Gordon House is the only Frank Lloyd Wright building in Oregon and the only one open to the public in the Pacific Northwest. We host visitors year round for guided tours, private rentals, and special events. The Gordon House has diverse needs for volunteers interested in guiding tours, gardening, office work, collections maintenance, special events, and more. The work of our staff and volunteers support our fundraising needs and our mission of education.
The Gordon House exemplifies the Usonian architectural style of iconic American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Fewer than 60 of Wright's Usonian homes were built. The Gordon House was Wright's last Usonian design.
