S.323 – John Haynes Residence,
3901 North Washington Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana This small Usonian
was built in 1950. The Haynes family
had a second home built next door (not designed by Wright). It is a circular home, but is concealed
from the street by a stockade fence. The house was available for rentals
and dinner engagements. In August
2014, it was noticed that the house’s website has been closed down; it
apparently is no longer available for rentals. Although the house had a historic
designation of the property per the owner’s request (which was granted by the
city), in 2010 he asked that the designation be revoked. He did not provide an explanation for his
decision, and the
city rejected the request. He has
filed repeated requests to de-list the property and has more recently suggested
that the historic listing has precluded him from selling the house. Each
has been turned down. The owner of this home requested
that photos and the home’s address not be displayed. I initially honored that request, but the
repeated requests to have the historic designation removed from the property has
resulted in numerous public documents and newspaper articles displaying the
address and photographs. As a result,
I am presenting my photos as well. Photographed on July 28, 2013. |
