The Kraus House, built for Ruth and Russell Kraus in the early 50s and designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the Kirkwood suburb of Saint Louis suburb is now open to the public. After Ruth Kraus died in 1992, Russell decided to preserve the house and to open it as a museum for Frank Lloyd Wright; it is owned today by the Saint Louis County. The house is an example of Wright's Usonian houses, which he began building during the Depression for middle income clients of modest financial means, and like all Usonian houses it was built without basements, attics and other features.
