Frank Lloyd Wright 1895; reconstructed by Wright in 1923 after a
fire destroyed the upper floor |This is one of the few houses
designed by Wright in an historic style--English Tudor. Although
in later years Wright disliked this house, it was widely copied.
Tudor elements include the decorative (rather than structural)
half-timbering, the steeply pitched roof and intersecting
gables, the rambling, asymmetical plan, and the use of repeated
balustrades.| The front, the front and street side, and detail
