The Walter house was one of Wright's most complete designs. Nearly everything at Cedar Rock bears the architect's imprint. Wright designed the furniture, selected the carpets, chose the draperies and even picked out the accessories. Cedar Rock was begun in 1948 and completed in 1950. It's roof and floors are concrete; the walls are brick, glass and walnut. Cedar Rock is one of nine Wright designed residences in Iowa. Of all the Wrights designs in Iowa, Cedar Rock is the only home chosen by Wright to bear his coveted signature tile. Meet Angie Auel, Naturalist, at the visitor center at 10:45 a.m.  Our tour will begin at 11:00 a.m.  We will ride on a trolley pulled by a tractor to the house and see the interior of this home.  Do not forget the camera!  You will want to take pictures of this beautiful home and park. Registration is limited to the first 18 people.
