This document is a National Historic Landmark nomination for Samara (John E. and Catherine E. Christian House) in West Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. The National Historic Landmark (NHL) nomination for Samara (John E. and Catherine E. Christian House) documents its national significance under NHL Criterion 4 as a full realization of the distinguishing design characteristics of a late period (1941-1959) Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house.
