About the Business
The Delbert Meier House, designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, is located at 402 North Page Street in Monona, Iowa. This institution holds a special significance as it was the childhood home of Frank Lloyd Wright's father, William Cary Wright. Often overshadowed in the history books, William Cary Wright was not only a musical influence on his son but also a composer, teacher, minister, lawyer, and doctor. His teachings on music greatly influenced Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural designs, emphasizing the connection between music and architecture.
The current stewards of the Meier House, two young dreamers from Chicago, have lovingly restored the historic home over the past nine years. However, due to life's demands and the distance from their primary residence, they have made the difficult decision to sell the house. Their journey of restoring the house and collecting its stories has been akin to the characters in the BBC sitcom "Ghosts," as they lived amongst the spirits of the house's past owners.
In their time at the Meier House, the stewards have compiled their experiences into a forthcoming book titled "This American House: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Meier House and the American System-Built Homes." Working with editors and designers at Pomegranate, they have crafted a beautiful book that showcases the history and significance of the Meier House and American System-Built Homes.
As they bid farewell to the Meier House, the stewards hope to pass on the legacy of this historic institution to new caretakers who will continue to appreciate and preserve its rich history. The house stands as a testament to the enduring influence of William Cary Wright and the architectural genius of Frank Lloyd Wright.
