About this business
The Ralph Sr. and Sunny Wilson House represents a hybrid of ranch and modern-style home architecture. Ralph Wilson built his house to serve three purposes: First, the house was his private residence where he lived from 1959 until his death in 1972. Second, it served as a model home for his then-fledgling laminate company.

What an amazing place. A true blast from the past and a great testimony to Mr. Wilson. We got a lot of good info from Fernando who let us in and we spent about 30 minutes enjoying this house. Not open 24 hours - call or email a week in advance for entry. Free to enter.
This is such an amazing time capsule. There was the sweetest gentleman that gave me & my Mom a tour. He was so knowledgeable. The house is just spectacular & kept up beautifully. If you love Mid-century Modern art 🎨 then you must see this house.
You must contact WilsonArt in advance to schedule someone to open the door. But it’s well worth it! If you are a house nerd like we are, the history here is amazing! The folks at WilsonArt have truly saved a piece of American culture and a chapter in the story of our home making history!
