Wright's relationship with the Johnson family stretches back to the late 1930s.

The Keland House was put on the market in September with an asking price of $725,000, per listing records. Barely a month later, the house sold for $1.025 million.

While the Keland House is bigger than most other Usonian-style homes Wright designed, the property has features that are typical of his style, Waters said.

Another key feature of Wright's Usonian style is the layout of the rooms, Waters said.

Except for a few additions that were made in the 1960s, much of the house's design is original, Waters said.

Even though it's a Wright-designed home, the Keland House is not protected or awarded any preservation status.
