About This Home

509 Shelby St

Kentucky’s only Frank Lloyd Wright home, the Zeigler House, represents an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. Designed by Wright in 1910 and meticulously restored in 1992, this Prairie-style residence is located within the historic river town of Frankfort - just two blocks from the Governor’s Mansion and Kentucky State Capitol. Classic Wright design elements are showcased throughout: ribbons of art glass windows, original cabinetry with art glass doors, cantilevered balconies, horizontal lines, and wide overhangs, as well as the central Roman brick fireplace with its distinctive illuminated cabinet - unique to this home. Nearly every room on the first and second floors opens directly to the outdoors, reflecting Wright’s philosophy of blending nature with living spaces. The main level features a welcoming living room, dining room, butler’s pantry, and kitchen, while a glass-enclosed porch offers serene views of a backyard inspired by Jens Jensen, a landscape architect and contemporary of Wright. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms including a primary suite with fireplace, sitting porch, bath, and a large private deck nestled in the tree canopy. The finished lower level adds a bath with Jacuzzi and walk-in shower, laundry, office/non-conforming bedroom, generous storage, and closet space. Perfectly situated just over an hour from Cincinnati and midway between Louisville and Lexington, Frankfort provides a gateway to the Bluegrass Region with spectacular horse farms, the picturesque grounds of Keeneland Race Course, the Kentucky Derby pageantry at Churchill Downs, national and international equestrian competitions at the Kentucky Horse Park, University of Kentucky events, outdoor adventure at the Red River Gorge, numerous first-rate venues for the performing and visual arts, the Bourbon Trail and much more. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and named a “Top 10 Kentucky Architectural Site”, the Zeigler House has been lovingly maintained since its restoration and stands as a rare opportunity to own a landmark by America’s most iconic architect.
