Even the rain, our visit to the Rosenbaum House could not be dampened. This was our fourth Wright home tour and it was everything we had hoped for. The staff, both in the shop and the home, were lovely people who were passionate about the preservation and history of the home. The tour was fantastic and is a must-see if you’re in the Florence/Muscle Shoals area. Wright inspires, as always.

My wife and I went to the Frank Lloyd Wright - Rosenbaum Home in Florence Alabama!We really enjoyed it very much, the tour was great! It was so awesome to actually get to see inside a Frank Lloyd Wright home. My only complaint is that photography was not allowed inside the home. We took a lot of pictures of the outside of the house and thru the windows though.Our favorite thing was the kitchen and bedrooms, Jerry gave us a great presentation! Jerry was very knowledgeable and friendly.I would definitely recommend this to everyone

What a great museum! If you are interested in architecture at all, you need to see it - and it was very inexpensive to visit!

Great visit to a historically important, beautifully restored Wright home.

Absolutely beautiful home, flawless detail from the tour guide, a must visit in this area!

Amazing architectural treasure in AL. Knowledgeable staff with great insight into the house

A piece of American history. A must see for any architectural buff or fan of FLW.The story behind the restoration is worth the visit if the sight of the place won’t do it for ya.Be warned, the Rosenbaum’s were short people, so the clearance is gonna be tight in most of the entryways, and certainly the carport. Mind your head...

Very well kept and a lot of the original furniture and books and such. Our docent was very knowledgeable and friendly. Really enjoyed it.

A beautiful piece out of place and time. It was closed because of the pandemic. So we were only able to admire it from the outside. But I definitely want to go back when it reopens.

Enjoyed our visit. Very knowledgeable staff.

The guide knew the family well who commissioned this house from Frank Lloyd Wright. Very knowledgable. A cool stop if you have the time. The Usonian design reminds me of Japanese homes with regards to the space efficiency and attention to detail.

The Rosenbaum House is a dynamic example of Wright’s Usonian style. The house is tucked away in a quiet, residential part of Florence, and you might miss it if you aren’t looking for it. My tour guide was very knowledgeable, and it took about an hour to tour the house. The property has been beautifully maintained. I highly recommend you tour Rosenbaum House if you are in Florence!

Beautiful. A historical site up kept with Love. Not a place to take young children as it is narrow, and most of the contents are original.

We took a trip to Florence to unwind and ended up at the Frank Lloyd Wright house on a tour learning about not only the architecture that make his homes famous, but the reasoning behind every decision made in the construction process. Fascinating. Our tour guide was very informative

Absolutely amazing! The tour guides are super nice and friendly. They answered almost any question. Bonus, there was also a very friendly cat!

Nice looking house. Covid-19 had the house closed but was able to walk around outside

Really cool, I would definitely recommend a visit.

Great place to visit in Florence.

Well- maintained example of Usonian architecture. Gorgeous; a must for Wright fans.

Excellent experience. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommended.

Fascinating tour. The home is beautiful and the docent was knowledgable and fun to spend time with. No photos allowed inside the home, so that was a bummer.

If you love architecture, you need to go here. Jeff was an amazing docent, with knowledge of the smallest details that made the tour customizable to any interests.

Fantastic tour. Guide is very entertaining and knowledgeable.

A beautiful Usoinian house.

Great place to see a piece of architectural history locally. A must if your a fan of Wrights work or like anything history related. Love it...

My daughter has lived in the area for several years and we finally took a tour. The inside of this house is amazing, for those of us that like simple houses. Pay to take the tour, just seeing the outside doesnt make you appreciate the house, well worth the tour fee. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the house.

Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the house and architect.

Wonderful house and tour to go along with it at an affordable price! I really enjoyed my visit.

My wife & I visited the Rosenbaum - Frank Lloyd house and enjoyed the home, but were not pleased with our guide...very difficult to understand, despite an extensive knowledge of the home and Wrights unique design and personality traits.

Unique Alabama landmark. Even if you dont take the tour you must drive by and take a look. Park the car and look at the house from the back. Close to University of North Alabama, Restaurants, recording studios, and Helen Keller home

Our whole family enjoyed touring the home! Our tour guide was very kind and informative. We were glad we stopped. Also gathered some more inspiration and ideas for building our home. Such great lighting!

We had a wonderful tour, which consisted of our guide, my husband, and our 5-year-old. Our leader was very knowledgeable, and she even kept my son entertained throughout our visit. (To be fair, he loved the house, and was very interested in many of its nuances.) Definitely a must-see when youre in The Shoals area, especially if youre a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright. Beautiful structure, beautiful history.

If you like Frank Lloyd Wright you have to see this house.

Nicely restored. The tour was quite informative.

Loved this house. Wright homes are always fun and this was no exceptions. Tire guide was knowledge. Spent about an hour. If you have never seen a Wright home, this is a good example. If you have seen others, this is social as a smaller usanium.

Wow. An amazing example of FLRs work. The house has been beautifully restored and the tour was first class. Small groups as great because this house is fairly right quarters. Even when you are inside, you feel connected to the outside. The price was much cheaper than we expected and the tour lasted over an hour. Dont miss this.

Very enlightening your. Our guide was super knowledgeable

Great place to experience and learn about the local history and get an immersive tour of a true usoinan Frank Loyd Wright home.

Very interesting if you are into architecture, engineering or history

Very affordably priced tour ($10/person). Our guide was incredible. He very knowledgeable on the house and its history. Definitely recommend visiting if you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan or if you happen to find yourself in the Florence area and are looking for something to do.

And Great preserved house and tour.

A stunning example of unique architecture. The tour is cheap, guides are knowledgeable, and the foundation keeps the house in good order. Definitely worth a visit if youre anywhere near FloTown.

Fantastic tour, wonderful history and architecture. So interesting

Ive visited several Frank Lloyd Wright buildings and theyre all different and yet similar. This one could have been done by no one else: low horizontal lines, public street walls, open private walls, few materials. If you have any interest at all in architecture or design, youll enjoy the tour.

It was different. It you like Frank Lloyd Wright, you will probably love it. If not, you will probably be turned off after hearing time after time what a smart man he thought he was....

Am amazingly well restored example of Wrights Usonian style. And the docents area incredibly knowledgeable and sincere.

So cool

A very interesting place/museum.The tour guide was very knowledgable and the tour itself was intersting and diverting. The Rosenbaum House is worth to see.

City of Florence saved the place. Excellent restoration of a mid-century FLW creation. This is his Usonian period.

Not my style but very interesting.

If you like architecture, ya gotta take the tour. The guide was awesome and full of great knowledge. This is one of the ultimate FLW designs.

Interesting and worth stopping to see if you are in the area.

Beautiful landmark

Incredibly well restored Usonian home. Very knowledgeable docents.

This is one of the best, unmolested and original of the Wright houses. Occupied only by the original family until acquired by the foundation that now operates it as a museum. Surprising find in out of the way Florence, Alabama.

I was blown away with the beautiful architecture and design that Wright used. The house is amazing. The tour was fantastic with a very knowledgeable docent.

Go! Guide was very knowledgable, the home is beautiful. Frank Lloyd Wright, I wish I could buy a house of your design.

The City of Florence has ensured that the only FLW structure in Alabama has been preserved,& hopefully in perpetuity.The restoration is wonderful ,the siting of the house is magnificent as it looks out over the Tennessee River.Enjoyed the tour,the guides giving a complete rundown of the house & the restoration process.You feel the magic of Wright,who was larger than life-his projects reflect that.You know youre in the presence of genius as soon as you catch your first glimpse of the house as you drive up on it.Entering it is amazing,walking through it is amazing,-you dont want to leave! You want to live there!

Great tour guide. Very informative. Guide said only FLW home in the south

I had waited years to see this! Did not disappoint..frozen in time awesomeness! YES PLEASE.! What made this so cool was you turned the corner and there it was-no hype, no fanfare and NO CROWDS!! Perfect!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the house, Florence and Frank Lloyd Wright. Interesting you cannot take pictures inside the home.

A must see if you are anywhere close to this amazing architectural structure!

A very wicked house. This places portrays modern homes as very boring.

Local historian gave a compelling history of this house and its original owners.

Our tour guide was excellent. Even though the home isnt too large the guide had a lot of interesting information about the home, architect, construction and family. The structure and grounds were very well maintained. Entrance price was $10 for adults and $5 for children. I felt the fee was worth it and the 10 year olds seemed to enjoy the visit also.

The guide was extremely personable and knowledgeable and clearly loved her job. Even if you dont know much about architecture or Frank Lloyd Wright, you will enjoy this tour.

Very cool place to visit. Very affordable too! Well worth the time and money!

Pretty nice house. Cool for getting ideas about working with limited space.

It closes early. The home is beautiful and the parking lot and adjacent building is where the tour starts.

Our tour guide (Darlea) was excellent. We enjoyed seeing this Usonian house with the extension also designed by FLW. Beautifully restored masterpiece of design!

I love visiting here and showing others this truly inspiring place.

Spectacular place to visit!

Theres never a bad Frank Lloyd Wright house to tour. Amazing house and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny!

I wouldnt say Im a FLW enthusiast, but Ive always been interested in his work. This is the first time Ive experienced his work in person and I was very impressed. Unfortunately photos are not allowed inside, although exterior photos are fine. The interior is MUCH smaller than expected, probably because photos have to be taken with wide angles to get everything in one shot. I mentioned I got the feeling of being on a boat and another tourist said, Or a train. Indeed. The house has the feeling that someone was living there and had just left for the store. I have great appreciation for the City of Florence saving this place from demolition.

A calming surreal home. Wonderful stories of the home, the family, the furniture, and of course, Frank Lloyd Wright. So awesome #haydrnscott #whitesedan #whitesedanvideo

Visited many times and can never get over the beauty of this home. It is a must see attraction for anyone that appreciates design and art of any kind. It is a special place early in the morning as the light and shadows add to the many angles and recesses. If you only visit Florence once in your life this is the one stop you should make.

Not exactly Fallingwater or any of the Chicago sites, but it’s all we have in Alabama. A good tour for the FLW completist.

Great place to visit if you enjoy architecture. More of an adult oriented place to visit as young children will not understand (and probably not care to understand) the definitions and history about the house. Photographs can only be taken on the outside however, there is a book you can purchase that has the history and photos of the entire structure. It is worth a visit if you are in the Florence/Muscle Shoals area.

Fantastic house! Our guide was knowledgeable but very soft spoken and hard to understand. It would be nice to capture photos from inside the house but understand it is maintained through tourism. Very nice tour in all.

So much history in one town. Worth the visit,the architecture,amaxing to know one man pleased an entire family and built a super sleek and super organized home,which i love. No little trinkets covering the walls.

This is the only Frank Lloyd Wright house in Alabama. The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable, and tours can be as few as one to two persons per group. You can freely walk through the entire house and take pictures. The gift shop across the street is also nice to visit. Be sure to check out the pieces on display from local artist Robin Wade.

Its Frank.Its awesome!Only one in Alabama!

If you are a fan of all things mid-century, this makes a truly great pilgrimage. Situated in a small college town halfway between Nashville and Birmingham, and somewhat closer to Huntsville, Alabama, the Rosenbaum house is one of FLWs early experiments in Usonian architecture. The docent was very personable and had great stories to tell about the dramatic history of this small yet mighty home.

The city has invested a good deal of money into preserving this piece of architectural history. Listening to the tour guide will help you appreciate the influence of FLW.

Very cool little stop recommend it!

The tour is well worth the price. What a beautiful and well-crafted home!

I have a friend that knew the folks that lived here when it was a normal residence and was in it often when she was a kid. So I just had to see it. The house is ... different! It is an odd mix of minimalist and extravagance (for the time). In any case it was well worth an hour of my time. I dont know much about architecture or FLW.

The Rosenbaum House, now owned by the city of Florence is a gem of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. He built the original structure, and then when the Rosenbaums needed more room because they had 4 boys, he came back and designed the addition..Mrs Rosenbaum lived in the house until shortly before her death, the heirs gave the house to the city of Florence. The City has done a wonderful job of renovating and keeping the original house in the style in which it was built. Definitely worth the trip to see it, and we were delighted to find the house was open on Sunday afternoon!

Great Staff Especially Summer.

Great presentation and historical information by guide.

Very interesting history about the owners, house, and of course the architect.

Loved this house. Wonderfully restored. Knowledgeable tour guide. So glad Florence Alabama has held onto this piece of history.

If you like FLW, or never heard of him: you got to check out this house! Ive been there 3 times, and learn something new about it every time I return.

Good tour guide. Really interesting house.

Very interesting.I feel it is a great part of history

Person at desk for tickets was curt.

A unique experience to see a fantastic achitects work!

Interesting example of FLWs design. House is listed as handicapped accessible. It is not. First, if you are in a wheelchair, there is no way you can get into the building where you buy tickets. There is no way to get anyones attention, either. The house itself is only barely accessible. If you have a standard manual chair, you can get into the extension. If you have an electric chair, forget it. The house has multiple levels and the doorways into most of the rooms are only 20 inches wide. Wright was a designer with a limited vision and even less engineering skill.

What an amazing place. The tour was exceptional.

Interesting house and story. Tour guide was very good and quite pleasant. A cant miss for Frank Lloyd Wright fans. Probably 4.5 stars.
