E. E. Boynton House
Edward Boynton commissioned Wright to build a total work of art, including the house, landscaping and furniture. The site, which stretched across four city lots, afforded Wright the space to incorporate an expansive garden, tennis court and rectangular reflecting pool, providing the open prairie feel that he sought.
Wright, in an unusually fruitful collaboration with Edward Boynton鈥檚 21-year-old daughter, Beulah, designed the two-story house to stand sideways on the lot in an elongated 鈥淭鈥� plan. Art glass windows and a large verandah characterize the house, which has suffered numerous structural problems due to Rochester鈥檚 harsh winter conditions. The current owners, Francis Cosentino and his wife, Jane Parker, purchased the house in 2009 and undertook an extensive restoration, with over 150 talented craftsmen working over a two-year period. Completed in 2012, the process was documented by Rochester鈥檚 Public Broadcasting Station in a program entitled 鈥溌榛ㄊ悠碘�檚 Boynton House: The Next Hundred Years.鈥�
