Description: A photograph of the interior of the Gregor S. and Elizabeth B. Affleck House, more affectionately known as the Affleck House, designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, taken by Joe Munroe in 1942. The home is built in the Usonia style, a style which Wright developed. He designed around sixty homes in this style, which consists of small one-story homes without garages or much storage space, often built in L-shapes to fit on odd or uniquely-shaped lots. They often have large windows, as a desire to bring the outside in is paramount in the design. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Architectural and design plans for a garconniere on the grounds of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pepinsky in Rush Creek Village. The term garconniere refers to a small apartment or studio for an unmarried man, but in the Pepinsky's case, the structure was used as a guest room and included a dressing room, bath and small workshop. These specifications are part of a collection related to the design and construction of Harold and Pauline Pepinsky's home in Rush Creek Village, an organically-designed community located in Worthington, Ohio. The community's homes were influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian style of architecture and designed by architect Theodore van Fossen, who also planned the community. The first Rush Creek home was built in 1956 and belonged to Martha and Richard Wakefield. Richard Wakefield later became the builder of the neighborhood. View on Ohio Memory.
