Frank Lloyd Wright Cat House, 1954








Here's one of the more unique pieces we have in the Feline Historical Museum ... a cat house built to accompany the Frank Lloyd Wright house built for Gerald Tonken's family, Cincinnati Ohio, in 1954.  The story goes that the daughter wanted a special house built for her cat, and this cat house in Wright's signature Cherokee Red was the result.

Purchased by The CFA Foundation in 2014, the piece is accompanied by the original elevation drawings done by Wright's employee, Thomas Olson.
