On Sunday members from our office traveled to Yemassee, SC to tour Auldbrass Plantation. This is Frank Lloyd Wright’s only plantation and it was great to tour such a unique home and grounds.
Walking in before we needed our umbrellas
The site and plantation house are arranged in hexagonal pattern that informs the entirety of the design. The main house as well as the media/play room were open for touring.
Yellow dots show our meandering exploration of the site
The slight lean of the live oak trees on the site inspired the 81 degree angle that is found throughout the buildings.
The pool and gardens

It was cold and rainy but Nick had the right gear to stay warm

We had to wear protective booties over our shoes to keep the interior of the house clean

A repetition of butt-glazed bay windows in the dining room allowed plenty of light in the space

Architectural Details #2
Overall we enjoyed the tour very much and appreciated the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was apparent throughout the different structures on the grounds. We feel lucky to have such an uncommon architectural treasure in the lowcountry.

I toured the plantation several years ago. At the time the roof was zinc-coated material, because the droppings from the trees destroyed the copper roof.
Also, I have visited several FLW-designed spaces, and never had to wear booties. Not even in his studio in Oak Park.
