J.A. Sweeton Residence

The J.A. Sweeton Residence in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1950, is the smallest of his four New Jersey houses and an important example of his Usonian ideal for compact, modern American homes. Built of concrete block and redwood plywood, it features a low horizontal plan, a steep roof descending close to the ground, and a dramatic cantilevered carport. Inside, its tightly organized layout uses glass doors, mitered glass corners, and a cathedral ceiling to make the modest space feel larger. Though secluded on a subdivided site, it remains a notable work of Wright’s late domestic design.
