The Bernard and Fern Schwartz House, also known as Still Bend, is a Usonian-style residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1940 in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, adjacent to the East Twin River. Built for businessman Bernard Schwartz after he saw Wright's "dream house" design published in Life magazine in September 1938, it became one of only two homes constructed from that influential prototype. The brick exterior, combined with tidewater cypress trim, large glass windows, and perforated decorative boards, frames a composition of clean lines and integrated terraces that exemplify Wright's Usonian principles. The 3,000-square-foot interior features radiant heating, clerestory windows, and built-in furniture also designed by Wright, with living spaces arranged across two floors without basement or attic. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and in the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places.
