The Carroll Alsop House, located at 1907 A Avenue East in Oskaloosa, Iowa, is a Usonian residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1951. One of seven Wright-designed Usonian houses in Iowa and one of two built in Oskaloosa, the house exemplifies Wright's philosophy of "free and simple living, in touch with nature, for the family of moderate means." Its L-shaped plan becomes a T-plan when the carport is included. Designed following a 1947 commission from two Oskaloosa families, the project was supervised by Wright's apprentice John deKoven Hill, with construction managed by builder Jim De Reus. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
