If you’ve spent any time in Arkansas the name E. Fay Jones is probably one of the first names to come to mind when someone mentions midcentury modern homes.

In fact, we may have mentioned him once before.

If you’re new to Jones’ work, the clean lines and use of natural materials will likely remind you of Frank Lloyd Wright — with good reason. Jones was an apprentice to Wright, and in fact was the only Wright apprentice to receive the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal.

Needless to say, owning a Jones-designed home is a get. And for the first time ever, Jones’ most recognized residential design — The Butterfly House — is for sale. We have the details over on SecondShelters.com.
