August 17 drive thourgh of Heritage Hill

After the Sculpture Garden and before we left Grand Rapids for the day, we drove through Heritage Hill in Grand Rapids (there are several other Heritage Hills around the country including one in Alexandria, VA). 

There are many large houses built from 1870-1930 by the wealthy of that era. The houses were all built to personal taste and many styles were used. The house in the image, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and uses Colonial Revival (the general layout and vertical elements), Greek Revival (the columned porch) and Italianate (the decorative roofs). I didn't take any pictures since I was driving and we didn't spend much time on this.
