The David and Gladys Wright House is a residence in the Arcadia neighbourhood of Phoenix, Arizona, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his son David and daughter-in-law Gladys and built between 1950 and 1952. The main house is a curved concrete structure raised on seven piers and reached by a spiralling ramp. It contains 2,553 square feet, with three bedrooms and four bathrooms, is built of concrete blocks and mahogany boards, and forms a 270-degree arc around an interior courtyard; the interior uses circular and geometric motifs and retains furnishings Wright designed for it. A small guesthouse stands to the north-east. By the 2010s it was one of four surviving Wright buildings in Phoenix and one of nine in Arizona, and the main house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. David and Gladys Wright lived there until their deaths, and after Gladys died in 2008 it passed through several owners, one of which intended to demolish and redevelop the site in 2012. Preservation efforts led to its sale that December to Zach Rawling, whose plans for a museum and cultural centre came to nothing. Benson Botsford LLC bought it in 2020, and it is again a private residence.
