A Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house in New Canaan, Connecticut, was sold for $6 million after being initially listed for $8 million.

The 7,000-square-foot Usonian Estate on a 14-acre property was designed by the iconic architect in 1955 and is one of his largest completed residential projects. Wright dubbed the property “Tirranna,” an Aboriginal Australian word for “running waters” and an acknowledgement of the adjacent Noroton River.
