The current owner of Westthope is a Tulsa real estate investor who was bought for $ 2.5 million in 2021 by a Tyson Foods heir. The seller undertook extensive renovations, including waterproofing, kitchen repair and window glass replacement.
The geometric style of the home textile block is based on a unique Wright innovated system in the early 1920s. Model concrete blocks are created by pouring a concrete mixture into the molds.
The blocks are reinforced with steel rods and create a repeated pattern throughout the home.
Westhope is the only example of Wright’s textile block style outside California.
