The George and Beth Anderson House is a Frank Lloyd Wright-esque style house in Fargo, North Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
It was designed by Ingraham & Ingraham, Architects, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, a firm headed by Elizabeth Wright Ingraham, Wright's granddaughter, and her husband Gordon Ingraham.[2] Built in 1958, it has only clerestory windows on some sides of the house, and larger windows facing northeast towards the Red River.[3]
The house was built in floodplain of the Red River and was damaged in multiple floods, including in 1997 and 2009. It was targeted for potential demolition in a flood control project. The owners had been offered a buyout price which they declined. In early 2017, the owners were seeking recognition of the house's historic and architectural merit by seeking National Register of Historic Places recognition.[3]
