Herbert and Katherine Jacobs Second House, often called Jacobs II, is a historic house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1946–1948 west of Madison, Wisconsin, United States. The house was the second of two that Wright designed for journalist Herbert Jacobs and his wife Katherine. Its design is unusual among Wright's works; he called the style the "Solar Hemicycle" due to its semicircular layout and use of natural materials and orientation to conserve solar energy.[4] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 2003.[3][2]
