Fountainhead in Jackson, Mississippi, also known as J. Willis Hughes House, is a Usonian house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. There are only three other homes in Mississippi designed by Wright, all of which are in Ocean Springs. The house was built in 1950 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] The Hughes House has been a private residence since it was originally built and has never been open to the public. It is owned by Jackson architect Robert Parker Adams.
