This sprawling Usonian is one of Wright's most extensive single-story residences. Three wings spin off a central hexagon much as might have happened had Wingspread been based on an equilateral parallelogram rather than a square. The grand living room is under a copper roof and ventilator specifically copied from the Arizona Biltmore Aztec ballroom.

Gillin was a geophysicist and electronics gadgeteer. A self-made man, Wright respected him and allow him to design many details including all door hardware, the stainless steel kitchenettes and even the diving board support.

The Gillin house continues to be a private residence and is difficult to view from outside the perimeter stone wall.
