The Suntop Homes, also known under the early name of The Ardmore Experiment, were quadruple residences located in Ardmore, Pennsylvania...
...and based largely upon the 1935 conceptual Broadacre City model of the minimum houses.
The design was commissioned by Otto Tod Mallery of the Tod Company in 1938 in an attempt to set a new standard for the entry-level housing market in the United States...
...and to increase single-family dwelling density in the suburbs.
In cooperation with Frank Lloyd Wright, the Tod Company secured a patent for the unique design...
...intending to sell development rights for Suntops across the country.
The open living space, concrete floors, fireplace, and bookshelves are iconic for architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
