Frank Lloyd Wright's Pottery House belongs stylistically to his later Usonian work, and exemplifies his dedication to creating architecture that fits with the land and was of the land. The original design for the Pottery House was commissioned by Lloyd Burlingame in 1928, and was to be sited in El Paso, Texas. Construction of the original Pottery House was never begun, and the design reverted to Frank Loyd Wright.

In 1982, Charles Klotsche, a real estate developer from Wisconsin, purchased the plans from Taliesin Architects and then had TA architect Charles Montooth adapt the plan from its original 2400 ft.² to 4900 ft.². Construction of the adobe structure was completed in 1984, and the home was then purchased by its current owner.

This is the only adobe structure designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
