Discover more about Still Bend / Schwartz House

Nestled on the banks of the East Twin River in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, Still Bend, or the Bernard Schwartz House, stands as a testament to Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian ideals. Built in 1940, it's one of only two homes derived from Wright's 1938 'dream house' design for LIFE Magazine, offering a vision of modern living for the average American family. The house itself is just under 3,000 square feet and is one of the largest of Wright's Usonian homes. Unlike most Usonian houses, Still Bend is a rare two-story design. Wright meticulously planned every detail, from the furniture to the landscaping, creating a harmonious living space that connects residents to the surrounding environment. The home features red tidewater cypress board and batten, red brick, and clerestory windows with geometric cut-outs that cast intriguing shadows throughout the day. Visitors can experience the magic of Still Bend through public tours or even overnight stays. Touring the house provides an intimate look at Wright's architectural genius and his vision for how the average American family could enjoy modern living. Renting the house offers an immersive experience, allowing guests to relax and appreciate Wright's design in a way that a typical tour cannot.
