The Freeman House is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most important homes. Its textile block system was decades ahead of its time. The University of Southern California's School of Architecture owns and is restoring the Freeman House in Los Angeles. As a part of the restoration process, they have collected hundreds of documents and thousands of pages of research, technical notes, photos, and historical items, which have been digitally copied and assembled into a large, six-volume set of books. Freeman House Document Collection will publish these books and make copies available.
