THE OLFELT/FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HOUSE
2206 Parklands Lane

The house at 2206 Parklands lane was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for radiologist Paul C. Olfelt and family in 1958.  Wright died in 1959 - the County says that the house dates to 1960.  One website tells us that the house was completed by Taliesin Architects after Wright's death.

As of 2011, Olfelt still owns and lives in the house, characterized as a small house built into a hillside.  Although the house is not on the National Register of Historic Places, there is a file on it at the Minnesota State Preservation Office.
