A Cincinatti Boulter Residence was designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1954 on Rawson Woods Circle. The house was built for Cedric Boulter, a classics professor at nearby University of Cincinnati. "The home's interior is private, but the entire exterior is visible - many Wright devotees would say too visible - from the adjoining street. The present owner, an urban design prof essor at the University of Cincinnati, has cleared away underbrush and replaced it with a suburban-style law. The original owner, Patricia Boulter, considers these changes 'very un-Wright-like.'"

The house was sold in 2003 to Jeff Sklar.
