Thomas Keys Residence.

The Thomas E. Keys Residence is a house in Rochester, Minnesota designed by Frank Lloyd Wright The design is based on a previous Wright design for a cooperative in Detroit, Michigan, which never materialized due to the onset of World War II. The house is an example of Wright's Usonian genre of architecture, a style he envisioned to meet the needs of middle class families desiring a more refined architecture for their homes. The house is located a short distance from two other Wright designs, the A. H. Bulbulian Residence and the James McBean Residence.
