Completed in 1895, this is Frank Lloyd Wrights' first independent commission in Oak Park after Wright left the offices of Adler and Sullivan in 1893. On December 23, 1922 at 2:24 a.m. a spectacular fire destroyed the third and fourth floors on the home. Wright immediately returned to Oak Park in 1923 to redesign and rebuild the home for a second time.

"A PORCH ON A HALF TIMBER ENGLISH TUDOR, THAT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE."

-FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
