Tan-y-Deri, is also known as the Andrew T. Porter Home and the Jane and Andrew Porter Home. Jane Porter (1869-1953) was the sister of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The home was commissioned from Wright in 1907, with Jane and Andrew Porter (1858-1948) moving in with their children James (1901-1912) and Anna (1905-1934) by late January 1908.January 23, 1908 edition of The Weekly Home News, the newspaper of nearby Spring Green, states that the Porters had just settled into their new home. The home stands in a valley in the town of Wyoming, Wisconsin (near the village of Spring Green). This valley was originally settled by the Lloyd Joneses, who were the family of Wright and his sister's mother.Maginel Wright Barney, The Valley of the God-Almighty Joneses: Reminiscences of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Sister (1965 Appleton-Century; 1st edition; Unity Chapel Publications, 1986) The Lloyd Joneses were originally from Wales and, as a result of this heritage, Wright chose a Welsh name for the Porter home: “Tan-y-deri” is Welsh for “Under the oaks”.William Allin Storrer, The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion (University of Chicago Press, 2006), , p. 133.
