"Frank Lloyd Wright's Connecticut Residence Sells for $6 Million"

Frank Lloyd Wright's former home, Tirranna, in New Canaan, Connecticut, one of his largest residential designs, has sold for $6 million to a family from Brooklyn who are avid fans of the architect and plan to undertake a multi-million-dollar renovation of the 7,800-plus-square-foot property, which includes a wine cellar that was formerly a bomb shelter, a rooftop observatory, and 14 acres of landscaped grounds. The estate, named after an Australian Aboriginal word meaning "running waters," was completed in 1955 and was previously owned by the late founder of Danbury Mint and his wife.
