The Reverend Jesse R. Zeigler Residence is a house in Frankfort, Kentucky, United States. It was the only house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to be built in Kentucky during his lifetime. The design came from a chance meeting between Zeigler and Wright while both were traveling to Europe in late October 1909. They struck up a conversation and the commission of this structure, completed the following year, was the result.[2] The structure is a typical example of Wright's "A Fireproof House for $5000".[3]
The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1] The house is privately owned and is not available for tours.[4] In 2025, the Zeigler House was placed for sale.[5]
