The Fountainhead, a “masterpiece of organic architecture designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright,” is currently on the market for $2.5 million, according to listing agent Douglas Adams. The home is located in the Fondren neighborhood, a “vibrant mid-century community” in Jackson, Miss., Adams said.

Construction on the home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, began in 1951 and was completed in 1954 when Wright was in his 80s. He died in 1959 at age 91.

Wright-designed homes occasionally come on the market, often the smaller houses he called “Usonian,” which were built to be affordable for middle-income families. He built 60 Usonian homes. One, the Rosenbaum House, is located in Florence, Ala., and is open as a museum.

Wright was known for designing original furniture to specifically fit his homes, which is typically sold with the home.
