File:Restored Westcott House 2005.jpg

Summary[edit]

In 2000, the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy acquired the decaying Westcott House through the use of their revolving loan program. A devoted group of Springfield preservationists and benefactors, bolstered with a multi-year $3.5 million grant from the local Turner Foundation, bought the house from the “Conservancy” and committed to restore the all-but-lost residence. The Westcott House Foundation was established later that same year, to take responsibility for the massive restoration effort that was required. The Westcott House restoration took nearly five years and $5.8 million. More than four hundred craftspeople and volunteers contributed to the effort.

Today, the restored Westcott House is once again a unique example of Wright’s architectural design, and an innovative center of activity. This photograph was taken August 24, 2005, by Rob Kearns. The Westcott House museum officially opened to the public October 15, 2005.
