images of the exterior of the Marden Residence photographed on April
6, 2015. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1952,
construction began 1956, and was completed on May 30, 1959.
Although Luis Marden was a professional photographer, early
photographs of the home could not be found, and their desire
for privacy kept this Wright home a hidden gem.
The first "hemicycle" home Frank Lloyd
Wright designed was the Jacobs II (1944). He also designed
the Meyer (1948), Laurent (1949), Pearce (1950), Marden
(1952), Llewellyn Wright (1953), Lewis (1952), Cooke (1953),
Rayward (1955) and the Spencer (1956). Circular homes
included the Friedman (1948), David Wright (1950) and the
Lykes (1959).
The house is located on the far end of a
one and a half acre lot, overlooking the Potomac River. The
2,760 square foot home is hidden from the street. It was
completed on May 30, 1959, one and a half months after Frank
Lloyd Wright's death. The home cost $76,000 to
build in 1959, $615,000 in 2015 dollars. The Medium cost of
a house in 1959 was $11,500. Wright designed most homes with
Carports, this one had a two car garage. Wright's on-site apprentice was Bob Beharka.
He joined the Taliesin Fellowship in 1955, and also
supervised the construction of the Robert Llewellyn Wright
and the Fawcett House.
Clerestory windows allow indirect light
into the Kitchen, Dining and Living Rooms. Mitered glass
forms the corner of the clerestory windows. Boulders set on
either side of the entrance were gathered from the property.
Frank Lloyd Wright's red |
|
signature tile is to the right of the front door. It was
Wright's way of signing completed buildings he was pleased
with. Not all homes received the signature tile.
Wright
designed most homes with Carports, this one had a two car
garage. Perforated
light screens along the back side of the garage open
outward. Two sheets of 3/4" plywood are laminated, with
glass between the two sheets. The corner screens open
outward, eliminating the corner.
Three successive
hemicycle retaining walls stabilize the hillside and tie the
home into the landscape. They allows for an unobstructed
view of the Potomac River below. The upper is a built-in
planter bordering the windows. The middle is the Promenade
(Terrace), and the lower a planting area. Stairs lead from
the Living Room out to the Promenade (Terrace).
The perforated block outer wall of the
study creates a unique pattern. Each row of
blocks that make up the hemicycles are set back, giving it
the appearance that the walls lean inward.
On a trip to Washington D.C. with our
granddaughter we had the opportunity to visit the the Marden
Residence. A sincere thank you to James Kimsey and his
staff. I personally appreciate the care and expense Mr.
Kimsey has gone to, to fully and meticulously restore the
home to it's original glory, and the opportunity I was
afforded by Mr. Kimsey and his staff to tour the home. I
love the quote, "What's the point of having a Frank Lloyd
Wright house if it's not a true Frank Lloyd Wright house?"
Mr. Kimsey, 2006. |

As you step through the front door, the view is
breathtaking. The house almost appears to float over the
Potomac River. A built-in planter-box borders the stairs
that lead out to the Promenade. The tinted concrete floor is
Cherokee Red. Heating elements embedded in the concrete
heated the home. The house is set up on a 4' grid system.
The 4 x 4' wood ceiling sections line up with the concrete
squares below. Original drawings specify the ceiling height
of the lower section of the house at 7' 4". The ceiling
height for the Living, Dining and Workspace area is
specified as 10' 0". The freestanding walls of the Workspace
(Kitchen) are six feel tall. Perforated light screens cover
the East side of the clerestory windows.
During renovations, the original built-in
dining room table was removed and is now in the Virginia
Museum of Fine Arts. |

Besides the original Cherokee Red Formica countertops that
were replace with polished concrete surfaces, the appliances
are just a few of the changed that were made during the
restoration. "One of [Mr.] Kimsey’s few regrets about the
Marden House is the inadvertent loss of the original
moveable furniture designed by Wright and Beharka. 'If
I’d been more involved at the time of the initial sale, we
would have purchased all the furniture offered to us and
more of the Mardens’ memorabilia. My agent at the time
didn’t understand its value to the house and turned down the
offer. Thank God for Ethel Marden. She saved me a few
ottomans and a small table. The rest of it is in the
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond and in private
hands.' " (Save Wright, Summer 2008.)

Marden
Residence viewed from the South. "One of [Mr.] Kimsey’s few
regrets about the Marden House is the inadvertent loss of
the original moveable furniture designed by Wright and
Beharka. 'If I’d been more involved at the time of the
initial sale, we would have purchased all the furniture
offered to us and more of the Mardens’ memorabilia. My agent
at the time didn’t understand its value to the house and
turned down the offer. Thank God for Ethel Marden. She saved
me a few ottomans and a small table. The rest of it is in
the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond and in private
hands.' " (Save Wright, Summer 2008.) 20 x 14 high res digital
