ROBERT G. EMMOND RESIDENCE (1892 - S.015)
   
Date: Circa 1893

Title: Robert G. Emmond Residence, LaGrange, Illinois Circa 1893 (1892 - S.015).

Description: Viewed from the Southwest. Designed and built in 1892 while Frank Lloyd Wright still worked for Louis Sullivan, it is considered one of Wright's "bootlegged" houses. It is similar in design to the Thomas Gale Residence (1892 - S.016) and the Robert Parker Residence (1892 - S.017). It is also one of Wright's earliest designs. The stairs on the left lead up to a terrace, and the main entrance. The front door opens to an entry hall with stairs on the left that lead to the upper level. Straight ahead through a doorway leads to the kitchen, or to the right, the octagonal reception room. Between the two octagonal bays on the right is the "library" (living room) which opens to a second terrace. Changes were made over the years, but this photograph shows the house as Wright intended it.

Size: 10 x 7 B&W photograph.

Title: Robert G. Emmond Residence, LaGrange, Illinois Circa 1915 (not dated) (1892 - S.015).

Description: Viewed from the Southwest. Designed and built in 1892 while Frank Lloyd Wright still worked for Louis Sullivan, it is considered one of Wright's "bootlegged" houses. It is similar in design to the Thomas Gale Residence (1892 - S.016) and the Robert Parker Residence (1892 - S.017). It is also one of Wright's earliest designs. According to the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, "1935 - the terraces were enlarged and enclosed." According to Storrer, "...the Emmond has been resurfaced with brick on the lower story; the terraces have been enlarged and enclosed (about 1935)." The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust dates this image 1895. The short walls that surround the front Terrace are as originally built. An awning has been added above the front door. The side terrace has been enlarged and covered, and the design somewhat blends with the original design. The roof at this point is flat, and the house today has been restore to this design. The Terrace was later enclosed, and a pitched roof added. Courtesy of the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust.

Robert G. Emmond Residence, LaGrange, Illinois 2018 (1892 - S.015). Designed and built in 1892 while Frank Lloyd Wright still worked for Louis Sullivan, it is considered one of Wright’s "bootlegged" houses. It is similar in design to the Thomas Gale Residence (1892 - S.016) and the Robert Parker Residence (1892 - S.017). It is also one of Wright’s earliest designs. Like the Gale and Parker designs, there are two octagonal bays on the outside corners, with a "library" (living room) with fireplace in the center. There are different elements to each, but this design

  was the most elaborate of the three. The house was originally clapboard, but the lower level was resurfaced in brick. It has since been restored to its original clapboard. In 1935, the side terrace was enlarged and enclosed. Photographed during a visit to Chicago by Douglas M. Steiner October 6, 2018. Copyright 2018.
