Wescott House Foundation is a non-profit organization located in Springfield, Ohio. The foundation was established in 2000 with the aim of preserving and promoting the works of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The foundation is named after the Wescott family who commissioned Wright to design their home in the early 1900s.

The Wescott House is one of Wright's early works and is considered a prime example of his Prairie School style. The house was completed in 1908 and features low-pitched roofs, overhanging eaves, and horizontal lines that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The house is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public for tours.

The Wescott House Foundation is responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the Wescott House. The foundation also organizes events and educational programs to promote the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright and his contributions to American architecture. The foundation is supported by volunteers, donors, and members who share a passion for preserving Wright's works.

In addition to the Wescott House, the foundation also owns and maintains the adjacent property, which includes a carriage house and a pergola designed by Wright. The carriage house is used as the foundation's visitor center and gift shop.

Overall, the Wescott House Foundation is a vital organization that works tirelessly to preserve and promote the works of one of America's most iconic architects.

Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 Totality! Only the sun's corona is visible. Down here on the ground it appears like nighttime, and the temperature has cooled. One of us even put on a sweater due to the chill! This and the other pics were taken in Urbana, Ohio, at Freshwater Farms. It's a fish hatchery - but they also hosted an eclipse festival! #TotalEclipse2024

Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 Totality! Only the sun's corona is visible. At the bottom, slightly left, a prominence from the sun can be seen (purple blur). This is an area of ionized gas projecting from the sun's surface. Down here on the ground it appears like nighttime, and the temperature has cooled. One of us even put on a sweater due to the chill! #TotalEclipse2024

Total Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024 This pic was taken with a 300mm telephoto lens with three stacked ND filters. The three filters reduced light by 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 respectively, for a total of 1/512 light transmittance (0.195% of actual light enters the lens). Even with these filters, the photo is over-exposed. The light entering is so strong it bounces inside the lens and produces artifacts - i.e. shadow images of the actual image. #TotalEclipse2024
