The interior of the Rosenbaum House. Usonia (/ j uː ˈ s oʊ n i. ə /) is a term that was used by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright to refer to the United States in general (in preference over America), and more specifically to his vision for the landscape of the country, including the planning of cities and the architecture of buildings.
The balance of the homes were decreed to be in the modern "organic" style ordained by Wright. The community was named "Usonia" in homage to Wright, whose ideas on the way Americans should live together guided their plan.

The Richardson House, originally designed in 1941 to be built in Livingston, New Jersey was built a decade later in Glen Ridge due to complexities imposed by World War II.
