The Reverend Jesse R. Zeigler Residence is a house in Frankfort, Kentucky, United States. It was the only house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to be built in the state of Kentucky during his lifetime. The design came from a chance meeting between Zeigler and Wright while both were traveling to Europe in late October 1909. They struck up a conversation and the commission of this structure, completed the following year, was the result. The structure is a typical example of Wright's "A Fireproof House for $5000".
The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The house is privately owned and is not available for tours.
