Francis W. Little House II

Frank Lloyd Wright's living room from the house, Gallery 745 The Met took the whole living room Frank Lloyd Wright designed for the Little family's house in Minnesota and rebuilt it inside the American Wing. It is nearly 48 feet long, lined in oak, with bands of leaded-glass windows, built in 1912 to 1914. After a run of paintings it is a welcome change of pace, and it is the clearest lesson on the route in what Wright meant by long, low, calm space designed down to the furniture.
