Another of Frank Lloyd Wright’s “bootleg” designs that he put together on the side while working full-time at Adler and Sullivan. As in the very similar Robert P. Parker House, Wright reveals his fascination with high-pitched roofs and art glass. The octagonal turret is almost a mockery of the traditional homes of the time which featured similar forms, though rounded and much more subtle.
