Roland Reisley House was built in Pleasantville, New York in 1951. The third of the "Usonia Homes" (now known as the Usonia Historic District) designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. this is a building on a hillside with a masonry "core" and wood siding. Roland Reisley was 26 when he built his home. The entrance is dominated by a dramatic wood cantilevered carport, which leads to an impressive yet unpresumptuous low-slung house with cypress paneling and indigenous stone.

The original house, built in 1951, had one bedroom, a study and a kitchen and a total of 1,800 square feet (170 m²). Wright returned five years later to design a 1,400-square-foot (130 m²) addition.

Usonia Homes was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
