The Usonian Style was originally developed by Wright in the 1930's and featured flat roofs, wide cantilevered overhangs, clerestory windows and horizontal “sandwich-wall” construction. The Peters-Margedant House pre-dates Wright’s first Usonian dwelling (Herbert Jacobs House, 1936-37) by nearly two years. It’s early construction date and bold architectural features speak to the home’s significance as a prototype for the Usonian  concept. In 2014 a major effort, led by Indiana Landmarks, raised funds for the relocation and restoration of the home to serve as an educational resource for students, architecture enthusiasts, and the general public.
