There are only 3 Frank Lloyd Wright houses in Texas, and one just hit the market for $2.85 million. Take a look at the home - and its original furnishings.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian-style home in Houston is for sale for $2.85 million. The house is one of only three Wright-designed homes in Texas.

The six-bedroom home is called the William Thaxton House.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed the original 1,800-square-foot home on Bunker Hill in 1955 at the request of William Thaxton.

What was originally supposed to be a $5,000 home turned into a home in the $110,000 to $115,000 range (equivalent to around $1.1 million today).

Wright designed everything in the original home on a 60- or 120-degree angle.

Every piece of furniture in the dining room, den, and living area is a Wright original. According to Joyner, only a few properties still include Wright's furniture.

In 1995, the current owner decided to renovate the home and added 6,400 square feet to the property.

Wright-designed homes on the market across the US range in price from a $175,000 house in Chicago to a $23 million house in Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, homes on Bunker Hill — where the William Thaxton house is located — range from $1 million to $7 million, according to Joyner.
