Background
In 1935, Paul and Jean Hanna commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design their home to be
built on the Stanford University campus. Construction, begun in 1937, continued in four
stages over 25 years. The house was the first structure in the world to use Frank Lloyd
Wright's hexagonal grid system, which has subsequently been used widely in American
architecture.
