The Farnsworth House Plano

Designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Farnsworth House is the oldest construction in this list. Located along the Fox River near the city of Plano, the major feature of the building is its transparency which brings the inmates closer to nature. It is a one room building finished in 1951 for Dr. Edith Farnsworth as a rural retreat. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2006 and is a museum now.
