The Gerald B. and Beverley Tonkens House is a single-story residence in Amberley, Ohio, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1954 for automobile dealer Gerald B. Tonkens and his first wife Rosalie. Wright conceived the home in his Usonian Automatic style—a democratized approach to residential design emphasizing owner participation in construction. The house stands as one of the finest and most intact examples of Usonian Automatic architecture ever realized, and was recognized with listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
