The Wilbur Wynant House also known as 600 Fillmore or simply the Wynant House was a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was part of his American System-Built Homes Series.[1] Although the house was built in 1916, it was not discovered to be by Frank Lloyd Wright until 1995.[1] During the end of the house's lifespan it was in poor condition. The house was purchased by David Muhammad who planned to restore the house. On January 9, 2006 a fire burned most of the house down.[2]
