The Wilbur Wynant House (also known as 600 Fillmore or simply the Wynant House) was a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in Gary, Indiana, United States. During the end of the house's lifespan it was in poor condition; in the mid-2000s it was purchased by a man who planned to restore it, but it was destroyed by fire on January 9, 2006.
Fire
On January 9, 2006, the Wynant House burned. Officials suspect arson as the cause of this unexpected fire. The remaining structure was subsequently razed and the lot was confirmed to be vacant in November 2012.
