zimmerman house

If you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan this is a must see! It is an additional free when you go to the Currier Museum but totally worth it.

Our tour guide was EXTREMELY knowledgeable about Frank Lloyd Wright's life, his work, the couple who commissioned this house etc. It was extremely informative - a little known jewel in the Queen City. Make sure to arrive early at the museum and get your tickets ahead of time. They transport you and will give you a short history of manchester as you drive there. Worth checking out in each season.

The Zimmerman House was a great sight to see. Roger, our tour guide, was very informative. It was neat to see the home as it was originally designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This is worth checking out if you're a fan of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. It was very cold when I went and part of the tour is outside, so my only suggestion would be to tour the Zimmerman House in the warmer weather if you're not a fan of the cold.

The docents here are well-trained and knowledgeable about FLW and his amazing work. The tour is really more of an "experience" because you get to learn the ins and the outs of the space in a smaller, more intimate tour provided by the Curriee Museum. This has shot to the top of my favorite FLW structures!

This was our first Frank Lloyd Wright house. If you are at all interested in history, design or architecture then this is a must see.I won't go on about Frank Lloyd Wright, apart from saying that the guy was an architectural and design genius, and that this house must be seen.The tour meets at the Currier Museum, which is also lovely. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and were able to answer all questions asked.Make sure you buy your tickets in advance as this tour is very popular!I definitely would not recommend this tour for kids under 16, and definitely not for young children - you aren't allowed to touch anything (just like a museum) and there is a high likelihood of tantrums due to boredom!This is a wonderful tour for adults, not to be missed.

But could he design a house! The ;house is worth a long visit, and is a unique example of Wright's philosophy of design. It is incredible to me that the fabrics Wright used are still in extraordinary condition. Admittedly, the ceilings are a little low, but as I say, Wright was short. But a short genius!

Didn't go inside or see he back because we did it as a drive by. Wasn't interested in paying the price for a non-typical Prairie Style FLW design.

Visited this home last weekend. You must book reservations at least several days in advance to view the house as only a few people are allowed per visit and tours are limited. (No kids under 7 allowed and no public bathrooms at the house). The price of the tour includes admission to the Currier Museum, but special exhibitions at the museum are extra. The tour begins in the lobby of the museum and then all participants board a shuttle bus for the short ride to the house. The guide narrates the history of the house and of its occupants during the ride. Upon arrival at the house, visitors don paper booties over shoes in order to enter. The house is fantastic! A 90 minute tour initially sounded like a substantial amount of time, but it flew by. The tour starts in the living room and then continues to the other rooms and ends out in the garden. The house itself is quite small, but the details of the design that are pointed out to you by the docents during the tour are fascinating. There are a few old photos of the house and of the Zimmermans and the house is substantially as they left it after Mrs. Zimmerman died. Even her clothes remain hanging in the closet. The guides are very knowledgeable about the building of the home and how the Zimmermans lived/entertained/used the home from the time they moved in in 1952 and are very receptive to answering questions.There is a more in-depth tour that is offered as well as the basic house tour and I look forward to returning for that. The furniture and design of this house is a definite draw for all FLW and mid-century fans.

Were able to do a walk through of the house for about 1-1/2 hours. The docents were very informative and the house was worth seeing if you like that kind of thing. There is also another FLW house on the same street, however, it is not shown.

We visited when visiting the Art Museum. Well presented and worth a visit. We discovered another house just down the road that was even more interesting in its design although you could not see around it.

Great adjunct to the Currier Museum. Knowledgeable docents, great tour of frank Lloyd wright house on the east coast.

Not one of Frank's greatest efforts.In fact it was much more a student project than one of Frank's.Tour guides do their best to talk it up using pseudo architectural speak.All about diagonals and in and out.Blah Blah Blah.Worth it nonethe less.

The tour was informative and the fellow tourists were a wide mix of people with varied interpretations and levels of knowledge about FLW. The docent was informative but a bit over the top for me but probably works well for a crowd of school children. The house was interesting and certainly something my friends and I enjoyed discussing later (some loves and some not so much votes in the group).

I have visited many of Wrights houses over the years. I am always amazed at the insight to the utilized space, natural light, and built-in furniture. He reads the owners, and builds a space to suit them. In this space he uses part of the L/R for use as a music entertainment area. The grounds blend in so nicely.

Took this tour on a dreary Memorial Day Afternoon. Know very little about FLW so wanted to see one of his designs. I was extremely disappointed in the house as I found it dark and very enclosed. . The passageways were very narrow, bedrooms, baths and kitchen tiny and the furniture built for midgets. How the Zimmerman Family lived there is a mystery to me There was nothing comfortable or "homey" about the interior- all sharp edges and cold. . The grounds were glorious, having just been freshly planted and groomed by the UNH Horticultural Department. I love to tour homes, but this one didn't fill the bill for me. The constant reminders to "Don't touch anything" proved an annoyance- even a roof tile was off limits. That was a little extreme. The guide did concede the house wasn't for everyone.
