Background
Hanna House, formerly the home of Paul and Jean Hanna on the Stanford University campus, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright,
using a hexagonal grid system. Construction was begun in 1937 and continued in four stages over 25 years. The house suffered
structural damage in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
