An internationally recognized premier example of Frank Lloyd Wright's late Usonian architecture, unusual for its nonresidential application. Usonian design refers to what Wright termed as an artistic house of low cost for an average citizen of the United States. Considered a highly personal expression of Wright's own religious faith, the First Unitarian Society Meeting House (built 1949-1952) exemplifies national trends in post-World War II American culture for its suburban location and modernist design.
