About 306 Glenway Drive
The Fountainhead is a Usonian masterpiece of organic architecture designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948 at the age of 81. Situated in the heart of Jackson’s vibrant mid-century community of Fondren. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, the Fountainhead seamlessly integrates Wright’s iconic principles of natural harmony and innovative design. Fountainhead was designed specifically for the contours of its site, and this site generated the building's form. Wright used a parallelogram (diamond) for the module, which was determined by the site. The parallelogram design is etched in the floors, and dictates the placement of walls, the size of the doors, and the shape of the spaces. Fountainhead was built with no stud walls in the house, no sheetrock, brick, tile or paint and boasts of exquisite-exceptionally durable Heart Tidewater Red Cypress wood for the walls and ceilings. The roof has the original copper sheeting. Expansive windows invite the outdoors in, while warm wood tones and signature built-ins create an atmosphere of refined simplicity. Set amid lush landscaping, this property is a tranquil retreat while remaining moments from Fondren’s eclectic shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Whether you're a dedicated admirer of Wright or simply seeking a home that embodies timeless beauty, The Fountainhead is a one-of-a-kind offering and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
