A few summers ago I took a tour of the Lowell and Agnes Walter House (1948) at Cedar Rock State Park outside Quasqueton, Iowa. Located on an 11-acre site, it includes a main house with central clerestory and skylights along with a two-story boathouse looking over the Wapsipinicon River.
.
The tour was well worth the suggested $5 donation as you get to see one of the best preserved of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian homes as the Walters were the only people to have lived there so everything's original. Because the Walters didn't have children, before her death at the age of 90 in 1986, Agnes Walter donated the home to the Iowa Conservation Commission, which has tours Thursdays through Sundays May to October. I highly recommend it, even if you're not a Frank Lloyd Wright fan as it presents a rare opportunity to visit a time capsule from the 1940s/50s.

St Louis, MO. 3 br, 1 ba. 828 sq ft. There is beauty in simplicity, and that absolutely rings true for this sweet brick 1940s cottage. And the inside isn’t bad either! The millwork and built-ins are stunning and such classics for a home of this era, along with the tile in the bathroom and kitchen. And that bright bay window is the coziest spot for an eat-in kitchen nook. // thanks for the find, @themadcutter53!
