The John D. Haynes House is a private residence in Fort Wayne, Indiana, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house is a small and modest Usonian design in Chicago Common Brick, Red Tidewater Cypress with gravity heating.
The gallery is offset to meet the rear of the great room at its center, rather than typically to one side. A music room and three bedrooms drop off this gallery. The plan thus generated is an outside T, with great room facing southwest and southeast, bedrooms looking southeast to the morning sun. The gabled roofing is asymmetrical.
Plans for a fourth bedroom off the back of the gallery, asked for when Mrs. Haynes again became pregnant, and a tool storage room plus a bathhouse and a swimming pool at the music room were never realized. With a family grown too large for this compact house, Haynes built a circular home on an adjacent site.
The house was designed inside the original layout of the Wildwood Park development which was designed by the noted American landscape architect, Arthur Asahel Shurcliff. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004,[2] and the Historic Preservation Review Board declared the property a Local Historic District in April 2008, at the request of the out-of-state owner. In 2010, the owner asked the Historic Preservation Review Board to rescind the historic designation, a request they rejected, citing his failure to explain his change of mind as a factor in their decision.[3]
