Theodore Baird Residence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Theodore Baird Residence is a suburban house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and located at 38 Shays Street, Amherst, Massachusetts. It is currently a private residence.

The Usonian house was planned and built between 1938-1940 for Amherst College's noted English professor Theodore Baird. It is a single-family house with brick façade and flat roof (highly cantilevered over a carport), with its heating conveyed by pipes distributing hot water through the concrete floor.
