A physicist who retired 38 years ago, Reisley has spent much of his time writing and lecturing about the house, and showing it to visitors—who by now number in the thousands. He has toured many other Wright houses himself, along the way befriending their owners and other Wright enthusiasts. “I’ve become part of a community that I never anticipated,” he says.

“After me, there won’t be any others,” says Roland Reisley, absorbing what it means to be the last original occupant in a Frank Lloyd Wright house. Reisley is sitting in his hexagonal living room on a rocky hill near Pleasantville, N.Y. The most famous architect of the 20th century designed the house for Reisley and his wife, Ronny, making many adjustments to his original plan to meet their needs (for a broom closet, for bookshelves, for more kids’ bedrooms). It was completed in 1952, during a postwar boom in which Wright designed 120 houses in—amazingly—31 states.
