The '''John C. Pew House''' is also known as the '''Ruth and John C. Pew House''' and is located at 3650 Lake Mendota Drive, [[Shorewood Hills, Wisconsin]]. It was designed by American architect, [[Frank Lloyd Wright]] in 1938 for research chemist John Pew and his wife, Ruth. Built on a narrow lot, the two-story home steps down the sloping hill to the shore of [[Madison,_Wisconsin|Madison]]'s [[Lake Mendota]]. A home in Wright's [[Usonia|Usonian]] style, the building was meant to be economical: its cost was US$8,750 (US$161,804 in 2019).<ref>https://ift.tt/3exxTD0> Construction was supervised by a member of Wright's [[Taliesin_(studio)#Taliesin_Fellowship|Taliesin Fellowship]], [[William_Wesley_Peters|William Wesley "Wes" Peters]] (who was also Wright's son-in-law). Peters said to Wright about the building that, "I guess you can call the Pew house a poor man's [[Fallingwater]]." To which Wright was to have replied, "No, Fallingwater is the rich man's Pew House."<ref> Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer (Author), Peter Gössel (Editor). ''Frank Lloyd Wright. Complete Works.
