Where is the Frank Lloyd Wright house known as the "Bachman-Wilson House" located?

This house was originally built for Gloria and Abraham Wilson in 1956 along the Millstone River in New Jersey. It was subsequently purchased by architect/designer team Lawrence and Sharon Tarantino in 1988 and meticulously restored. When the house was threatened by repeated flooding at its original location, the Tarantinos determined that, in order to preserve it, they should sell the house to an institution willing to relocate it. After the Tarantinos conducted a multi-year search for a suitable institution, Crystal Bridges acquired the house in 2013. The entire structure was then taken apart and each component was labeled, packed, and moved to the Museum, where it was reconstructed in 2015.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville AR. Alice Walton, the daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, spearheaded the Walton Family Foundation's involvement in developing Crystal Bridges.

Very misleading question. New Jersey should also be correct, given the wording

Ray Duncan

deceptive queston.it does not say what time frame

Paco Herrasti

Deceptive question, my answer was correct.

Fred Zeb Fudpucker

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has acquired a rare Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house, known as the Bachman-Wilson House, located in the Borough of Millstone in Somerset County, N.J. Built in 1954 along the Millstone River, the river and surrounding landscape has encroached the house over the past decades........................ANOTHER TRICK QUESTION

Jim Farace

this should've been where was it moved to

Rosie Gunter

Poorly worded question.

Elsy O. Stromberg

Ray Duncan, Doesn't need to.

Elsy O. Stromberg

Joy Holbrook, It WAS there.

Elsy O. Stromberg

The house was moved from N.J. to Ark., Joss C. and others. Not misleading or deceptive.

stevemanning

Yet another misleading question. The N.J. answer is also correct.

Cheryl McMeekin

Very misleading question and answer, but guessed the answer correctly.

Cheryl Dunn

Originally built in New Jersey.

Josie Andrews

Misread the question ☹️

Wendy Petty

Seldom is a house on a concrete foundation relocated. It is a reasonable to expect the question to relate to its original site.

Julie Allen

Joss Coverdale, No. I got it wrong also but it does say where IS it located, not where WAS it located/

Richard Tremblé

Adding the word 'now' before the word 'located' would have validated this 'bogus' question.

Joy Holbrook

That's funny. Wikipedia says it was in Millstone New Jersey.

Hernando Villegas

If we go with your reasoning the house is no longer Bachman-Wilson house but Crystal Bridges Museum of American Arts. The question is misleading and MUST be reworded.
