That love is evident in Wright’s home, Dragon Rock, which is considered to be a masterpiece of the late designer. The home is situated on 75 acres called Manitoga, or “place of great spirit,” in Algonquin, NY. The 45-year-old home is located about 50 miles from New York City and was designed to blur the distinction between the indoors and outdoors. Wright built the 11-level home in and on a granite cliff partially hidden by foliage.
The home was recently listed with the National Register of Historic Places and is being meticulously restored to its original grandeur by Manitoga Inc. Part of that restoration includes replacing and upgrading the original mechanical systems. Manitoga Inc. has, whenever possible, contracted with original equipment manufacturers to replace aging systems.
