The Theodore Baird Residence is a suburban house designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and located in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA. The house is currently rented by University of Massachusetts professor of Architectural History, Timothy Rohan.
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, wood and glass façades and a flat roof (highly cantilevered over a carport), with its heating conveyed by pipes distributing hot water through the concrete floor.
