It was great to visit the Stockton house and interpretive center (twenty years since our last visit). Bob our tour guide and his wife were lovely and super knowledgeable! The house is a sleeper and a tour de force inside!Visit the newly restored FLW Historic Inn as well. So many cool old houses to see.

Worth getting off the highway for the one hour tour. The house is more modest than other wright homes but still a beauty and had been meticulously restored. If you have more time, the gift shop sells a $5 guide book of a walking tour of prairie home style homes by Wright contemporaries. The gift shop and first floor of the house is wheelchair accessible.

One of only three of Wrights Fireproof House for $5000 built, and the only one open to the public. Beautifully restored, one can see so many of the signature design elements which Wright developed and used in his architecture. The tour was quite interesting. The adjacent interpretive center offers lots of info on the Prairie School structures in the Mason City area and is well worth the time to visit.

Surrounding neighborhood has many wonderful examples of FLW designs, as well as homes and commercial buildings where architects were heavily influenced by his designs. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful (stunning fall foliage in quintessential American town) and is easily accessible on foot and is primarily handicap accessible (although there are some gradual hills). Unfortunately, the home closed just as we arrived, however, the museum and gift shop were open. The couple who were the docents for the day were just about as lovely as complete strangers can be. Knowledgeable about FLW and his contemporaries, they easily answered any questions I had. The gift shop is first rate. The shop and museum are handicap accessible, however, I dont think the actual home is ADA. Mason City was a gem where we would gladly spend more time. An unexpected bright spot while we were stuck in the area whilst waiting for RV repairs.
