The Robert Llewellyn Wright House, located at 7927 Deepwell Drive in Bethesda, Maryland, is a 1,800-square-foot concrete-block dwelling designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1953 and built in 1957 for the architect's sixth child, Robert Llewellyn Wright, a Justice Department employee. Conceived as a Usonian house, it employs Wright's distinctive hemicyclic geometry—intersecting and concentric circular segments—though initial designs were abandoned due to construction costs. The two-story structure sits on a sloping site overlooking a stream, visible from both Deepwell Drive and the nearby Cabin John Stream Valley Trail. The grounds were landscaped in 1960 by Lloyd Wright, the architect's son and the client's brother. One of only two Frank Lloyd Wright–designed structures in Maryland, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains a significant example of Wright's late residential practice.
