In 1953 Gloria and Abraham Wilson wrote to Frank Lloyd Wright to commission a home, and because Gloria's brother Marvin Bachman had been one of Wright's apprentices, they hoped using both last names might help secure the commission. Their home, designed on the Usonian model, was built in 1954 on a New Jersey site they chose specifically for the building, with few street-facing windows for privacy and a sweeping glass wall at the back that invited the surrounding landscape into the home. In 1988 the architect and design team Lawrence and Sha[r]on Tarantino bought the Bachman-Wilson House intending to restore it after several floods had damaged the riverside structure, but although they painstakingly restored it, flooding and damage continued. In 2013, after seeing a CBS Sunday Morning feature about Crystal Bridges, the Tarantinos contacted the museum in hopes it would acquire the house and move it to safer ground so it could be preserved and enjoyed by future generations. Crystal Bridges became the house's steward and, guided by the Tarantinos, developed a detailed relocation plan in which the entire structure was taken apart and each component labeled, packed, and loaded into two tractor trailers. After its 1,235 mile journey, the Bachman-Wilson House arrived in Northwest Arkansas in April 2014, where reconstruction was complicated by the need to determine exactly how the components originally fit together, despite Wright's original plans, because of adjustments by the original builders and later restoration changes. As the pieces came together, the house emerged from the forest, and in its new location the rear windows look onto Crystal Spring Pond much as they had once looked toward the Millstone River in New Jersey. A related collaboration between the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art produced the Frank Lloyd Wright House Welcome Pavilion, designed and fabricated by fifth-year architecture students. Inspired by the dialogue between Wright's architecture and that of Crystal Bridges architect Moshe Safdie, the pavilion was created as a place for guests to learn about Frank Lloyd Wright and the Bachman-Wilson House, and its exposed wood, metal, glass, and plastic structure reflected Wright's principle of showing how a building was made through honest use of materials.
