The Tracy House also known as the Bill and Elizabeth Tracy House is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Usonian Automatic home that was constructed in Normandy Park, Washington, a suburb near Seattle, in 1956.

The house, like other Wright-designed Usonian automatics, is composed of concrete blocks that is broken up by glass and redwood plywood. The Tracy House is 1150square feet and has three bedrooms and one bathroom as well as a two-car garage; the lot itself is and faces the Puget Sound.[1]

The Tracy House was built for Bill and Elizabeth Tracy, who occupied it until the latter's death in 2012; the property was listed on the real estate market for the first time at a price of $950,000.[2]

In 2011, Seattle Met named it one of the ten greatest homes in the Seattle area.[3]
