 The Staley House is one of only a handful of "user-built" Wright buildings in Ohio.An example of one of Wright's Usonian designs, the house was planned in 1950–51, with construction taking place between 1951 and 1954.Noted for its strict adherence to Wright's original design, it is unique among Ohio Wright structures in that it utilizes natural, local river stone collected at Mill Creek in Madison (unlike other Ohio Wright homes in Ohio that use brick).
