Summary

  • Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fountainhead house in Mississippi is listed for $2.5 million USD
  • Named after Ayn Rand’s novel, the 1948 Usonian home features a diamond plan, cypress walls and a copper roof

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fountainhead residence in Jackson, Mississippi, has officially hit the market, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of American architectural history. Commissioned in 1948 by oil magnate J. Willis Hughes and completed in the early 1950s, the Usonian-style home takes its name from Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead — a nod to Wright’s influence on the book’s protagonist and its themes of individualism and design integrity.

Set on nearly an acre of wooded land, the 3,558-square-foot residence was designed to harmonize with its sloped site, embodying Wright’s philosophy of organic architecture. Its diamond-shaped floor plan – based on a parallelogram – guides every aspect of the design from the layout of rooms to the scale of doors and windows. Constructed without stud walls, drywall, or paint, the house features Tidewater Red Cypress walls and ceilings, a copper roof and expansive glass panels that invite natural light and views of the surrounding landscape.

Inside, the residence includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two half baths. Signature Wright fedatures such as built-in furniture, radiant floor heating and geometric skylights contribute to the home’s cohesive and functional aesthetic. The living room, with its soaring ceiling and cantilevered roof, opens to a terrace that overlooks a cascading fountain and pond—features designed to evoke a woodland glade. A gallery-style corridor connects the bedroom wing, which includes a master suite, a dormitory-style room and a third bedroom originally intended for the Hughes family’s daughter.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980, Fountainhead has been meticulously restored by its current owner, architect Robert Parker Adams, who has lived in the home for over four decades. The property remains a testament to Wright’s enduring vision and craftsmanship, blending innovation with natural beauty. Located at 306 Glenway Drive in the Fondren neighborhood, the property is listed for $2.5 million USD through Crescent Sotheby’s International Realty.
