A house in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1910, widely counted among his finest Prairie style buildings. Its low horizontal massing, cantilevered roofs and open interior plan helped popularize design details, including picture windows and integrated garages, that spread through American residential architecture long after.
