Roland Reisley House was built in
Pleasantville,
New York in 1951. The third of the "
Usonia Homes" (now known as the Usonia Historic District) designed by
Frank Lloyd Wright. this is a building on a hillside with a masonry "core" and wood siding. Roland Reisley was 26 when he built his home. The entrance is dominated by a dramatic wood cantilevered
carport, which leads to an impressive yet unpresumptuous low-slung house with
cypress paneling and indigenous stone.
The original house, built in 1951, had one bedroom, a study and a kitchen and a total of 1,800 square feet (170 m2). Wright returned five years later to design a 1,400-square-foot (130 m2) addition.
