Frank Lloyd Wright’s John and Syd Dobkins House in Canton, Ohio, was developed from 1953 to 1954 as a modest Usonian single-family home with two bedrooms and one and a half baths. One of three Usonian houses Wright created in the city, it uses an equilateral-triangle module with a four-foot unit, deep red brick, and deeply raked mortar to emphasize horizontal lines. Built on a five-acre former cornfield, it also reflected Wright’s landscape planning through a precise arrangement of 14 pin oak trees. Supervised by Taliesin apprentice Allan J. Gelbin, the house remains an important example of Wright’s late residential work in Ohio.
