Broad Margin, designed in 1951 for Misses Gabrielle and Charlcey Austin, is a great example of Frank Lloyd Wright's natural or Usonian homes. The 1,727 square foot structure is one of less than 20 buildings in the Southeast and one of two houses in South Carolina designed by Wright. Unique to Broad Margin is its cypress, rock, and glass that compose the walls, as well as its radiant heating, which is provided by hot water circulating through copper pipes underneath the concrete flooring. The structure, completed in 1954, is also one of only 19 houses nationwide with Wright's initials written in a tile outside the front door. Frederick W. Bristol Jr currently owns the home.
