Typical of the Usonian style, Frank Lloyd Wright's Zimmerman house has simple lines and few ornamental details. From the street, the house suggests a fortress-like aura of privacy. Small, square concrete windows form a band across the street-side facade. These heavy windows reveal little about the people inside. In the rear, however, the house becomes transparent. The back of the house is lined with windows and glass doors.
