The magnificent property Millard House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Alice Millard in 1924 comes to a total of 5 million dollars. The premium property is located in Pasadena, in California. The concept of the property’s design was to create a home that “belonged to the ground on which it stood” as quoted by the acclaimed architect. Wright’s intention was to harmoniously blend the house with its natural setting amongst the surrounding trees, shrubs and inviting tropical plants.
