DR. HOWARD W. BASSETT RESIDENCE REMODEL (1894 - S.027)
   
Date: 1894

Title: 1) Dr. Howard W. Bassett Residence Remodel, Oak Park, Illinois, East Elevation 1894 (1894 - S.027).

Description: East elevation for the Dr. Howard W. Bassett Residence Remodel. Designed in 1894 by Frank Lloyd Wright. He made "Additions To And Alterations of A Residence, South Oak Park Avenue,"  turning the house into a office and residence. Dr. Howard W. Bassett, was born Sacramento, California on November 27, 1861. He received a medical degree at Chicago Homoeopathic Medical College in 1889 and interned at the Cook County Hospital. He practiced in Oak Park from 1891 - 1900.
       The ground level was converted to an office which included a covered entrance, vestibule, waiting room, operating room, and an entry to the private residence above. A large room at the back remained unchanged. Stairs lead to the first floor which had a large entry hall with built in seating, parlor, living room with a fireplace, dining room and kitchen. The covered porch was reached from the parlor. The second floor had three bedrooms with a porch off the larger of the three bedrooms.
       Additions to the ground floor included a covered entrance and exterior surfaces covered in cement plaster. The diamond-pane windows were similar to the windows in Wright's own house. The first floor, up to the second floor sills were covered in shingles-and-batten. Two rows of singles between each batten. Very similar to the Goan Residence (1893 - S.029.) The remainder of the second floor exterior was covered with cement plaster. The first floor windows are similar in design to the Albert Sullivan House (1892 - S.019). The porch spindles were the same pattern used for the playroom balcony in Wright's own home.
       Other early Wright remodel designs included: Kenwood Dining Room (1903), Bassett (1894), Young (1895), Roberts (1896), Waller (1899), Hills (1900), Hebert (1902) and the Rookery (1905), to name a few.

BASSETT RESIDENCE CIRCA 1900
 
Dr. Howard W. Bassett Residence Remodel, Oak Park, Illinois, Circa 1900 (Not Dated) (1894 - S.027). The Bassett Residence was demolished in 1922 to make room for an expanding downtown, located just a few steps from the Oak Park Elevated Station and .3 miles from Unity Temple. A perfect spot for a doctor's office/home. According to Thomas Heinz, "Previously the house was the boyhood home of Walter Burley Griffin, from at least 1885 when the city directories began; Griffin, who was apprenticed to Wright... His father, George Walter Griffin, sold the house to Bassett." Field Guide, 2005.
       Dr. Howard W. Bassett, was born Sacramento, California on November 27, 1861. He graduated from Sacramento High School in 1877, and a medical degree at Chicago Homoeopathic Medical College in 1889 and interned at the Cook County Hospital. He practiced in Oak Park from 1891 - 1900. He took a post graduate course at the Chicago Polyclinic in 1892. He was a member of the staff at St. Anthony's Hospital in Chicago and a clinical assistant chair of neurology at Chicago Homeopathic Medical College. In 1900 he moved to Richmond, Virginia. In 1906 he completed a post graduate course at the Medical College of Virginia continuing his practice during his studies. He was among the early users of automobiles in this city and was one of the men instrumental in starting the automobile association in Richmond. His widow and a daughter survived him. (Note: Biographical information gathered from: Medical Century, August 1, 1900, p.253; History of Homeopathy, 1905, p.328; Virginia Medical semi-Monthly, July 27, 1917, P.208; Medical News, October 6, 1917, p.1190.) It is most likely that in 1900 he sold the house when he moved to Richmond. According to Carla Lind, Leslie Beebe, another
   physician occupied the space until 1921, Lost Wright, 1996.
       Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1894. He made "Additions To And Alterations of A Residence," turning the ground floor into an office and remodeling the upper floors. The ground level was converted to an office which included a covered entrance, vestibule, waiting room, operating room, and an entry to the private residence above. A large room at the back remained unchanged. Stairs lead to the first floor which had a large entry hall with built in seating, parlor, living room with a fireplace, dining room and kitchen. The covered porch was reached from the parlor. The second floor had three bedrooms with a porch off the larger of the three bedrooms.
       Additions to the ground floor included a covered entrance and exterior surfaces covered in cement plaster. The diamond-pane windows were similar to the windows in Wright's own house. The first floor, up to the second floor sills were covered in shingles-and-batten. Two rows of singles between each batten. Very similar to the Goan Residence (1893 - S.029.) The remainder of the second floor exterior was covered with cement plaster. The porch spindles were the same pattern used for the playroom balcony in Wright's own home.

E. A. CUMMINGS REAL ESTATE OFFICE (1905 - S.112)
     
Date: C 1907

Title: E. A. Cummings Real Estate Office, circa 1907 (1905 - S.112).

Description: Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905, little is know about the building, and few photographs exist. Broad overhanging eaves surrounds the building. Two pedestals on either side of the entrance hold large prairie styled concrete vases that appear to be round at the top, with four square legs setting on a square base. Two high walls float out from the front corners with the ends attached to pedestal setting on a large base. A decorative pole rests on top of the pedestal. Text on the left wall: "River Forest Land..." Right: "We Welcome all who would a home acquire." Edmund Augustus Cummings was born in Lowell, Mass on Nov. 29, 1842. When he was a boy, his family moved to Elgin, Ill. He enlisted as a soldier in the war in 1860 at 18 years of age and served with General Grant. After the war, he moved to Chicago in 1864, working in the insurance and real estate business. He married Ellen M. Merrill in Chicago on Sept. 11 1867. In 1869 he formed the firm of E.A. Cummings & Co. He was very successful in the real estate business, considered one of the most successful at the time, creating as many as 250 subdivisions. He was one of the organizers of the Chicago Real Estate Board and was for a time president of the board. He was a founder and director of the Chicago Title and Trust, and vice president of the Avenue Trust and Savings Bank. He retired after being a realtor for 53 years, and left his grandson, John Cummings Lindop in charge of the River Forest office of EA Cummings & Co. He past away on August 23, 1922. At the time of his death he left a fortune of about $1,500.000. (From the Economist, August 26, 1922.) The September 28, 1922 "Forest Leaves" reported his net worth at $2,230,000. The Wright designed office building was located on the Northwest corner of Lake and Harlem in River Forest, and on the Southeast corner of what today is called Cummings Square. According to the River Forest Architectural and Historical Survey, in 1921, Cummings sold the block of land bounded by Harlem Avenue, Bonnie Brae Place, Quick Avenue and Lake Street to the Cook County Forest Preserve District for use as open space, which was subsequently named Cummings Square for $95,000. Two years after his death (1924), a concrete band shell designed by White and Weber was built in Cummings Square as a memorial to E. A. Cummings, using $25,000 in funds that he left in his will. The Oak Park Tennis Club was organized in 1924 and built a club house the following year near the northeast corner of Cummings Square, on the site formerly occupied by the River Forest Tennis Club. In 1936, a small Tudor Revival style shelter house featuring two waiting rooms was built at the southeast corner of Cummings Square, at the corner of Harlem Avenue and Lake Street, replacing a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed real-estate office. "New Shelter House Opened," Oak Leaves, Dec. 31, 1936. Today, two prairie styled concrete vases adorn the corner where the Office once stood. Photograph attributed to William G. Purcell.

Description:
Viewed from the Southeast, photographed during the winter. Although more vertical than his later prairie houses, Frank Lloyd Wright did include a dominate horizontal line that incorporates the second story window sills and completely encircles the house, an element of his Prairie styled homes. Like the Thomas Residence, also 1901 and in Oak Park, it is an all-stucco exterior. But unlike the Thomas Residence which is considered Frank Lloyd Wright's first fully developed prairie styled house in Oak Park, it includes elements of Wright's transitional designs. Like the Rollin Furbeck Residence (1897), it includes elements of Wright's transitional period. Broad overhanging eves, corners are turned at a 45 degree angle, it includes a massive central tower, there are rectangular windows with columns and it is more vertical than Wright's prairie styled horizontal designs. It is also a three story home. Where the Rollin columns were round, these are closer to the appearance of the square Thomas columns. The pavilion, in the foreground on the left, which was later demolished to make room for another home, was reached by the outer stairs on the East (right) side, and a doorway and covered passage on the South side of the house. The Living Room is in the background on the left, the Dining Room is on the right side of the Pavilion. With all the angles and variations in the elevations, the Fricke Residence exemplifies Wright's destruction of the box. The covered Porch is on the right. Vertical slats add a measure of privacy. Bedrooms are on the second level. The Balcony on the right, above the Dining Room is accented with vertical balusters. In the background on the right, the Maid's Room, the triangular bay window echoes the design of the Entrance to the home.

The Pavilion which used to be on the South side the Fricke home was demolished to make room for the Brick home on the far right, which was originally built in 1949. Like the Thomas Residence, also 1901 and in Oak Park, it is an all-stucco exterior. But unlike the Thomas Residence which is considered Frank Lloyd Wright's first fully developed prairie styled house in Oak Park, it includes elements of Wright's transitional designs. Like the Rollin Furbeck Residence (1897), it includes elements of Wright's transitional period. Broad overhanging eves, corners are turned at a 45 degree angle, it includes a massive central tower, there are rectangular windows with columns and it is more vertical than Wright's prairie styled horizontal designs. It is also a three story home. Where the Rollin columns were round, these are closer to the appearance of the square Thomas columns. Courtesy of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Title:
William G. Fricke Home 2002 (1901 - S.058).

Description:
The William G. Fricke Residence was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1901. William G. Fricke was a partner in Weber, Costello, Fricke, a Chicago firm which manufactured and sold school supplies nationwide. Fricke commissioned Wright in 1901 to design his home. He lived in the home for five years until it was purchased by Emma Martin purchased the home in 1906-7. Patrick F. Cannon suggests that "Fricke sold the house because of Financial difficulties. According to divorce records. William Frick left for work on August 10, 1909, and never returned..." Hometown Architect, 2006. Like the Thomas Residence, also 1901 and in Oak Park, it is an all-stucco exterior. But unlike the Thomas Residence which is considered Frank Lloyd Wright's first fully developed prairie styled house in Oak Park, it includes elements of Wright's transitional designs.

The Kitchen is down a hallway. The Bedrooms are on the second level. The pavilion, which was later demolished to make room for another home, originally built in 1949, was reached by the outer stairs on the East side, and a doorway and covered passage on the South side of the house. With all the angles and variations in the elevations, the Fricke Residence exemplifies Wright's destruction of the box. The covered Porch on the east side includes vertical slats that add a measure of privacy. The Balcony above the Dining Room is accented with vertical balusters. The Maid's Room on the second level also has a triangular bay window which echos the design of the Entrance to the home. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002.

Description:
Street View Rollin Furbeck Residence. "Residence For Mr. Furbeck, Oak Park, Illinois. Frank L. Wright, Architect." This is one of the earliest photographs of the Furbeck Residences and captures Wright's original intent. The Porte Cochere is on the left, with the driveway leading in from the street. By the 1940s the Porte Cochere had been enclosed, and the driveway removed. The entrance was reached through low capped walls that were removed by the 1940s. The transition from Wright's earlier homes with Sullivanesque details, toward his Prairie style is evident. The facade of the upper two floors in the front is similar to the Winslow (1894), Heller 1896) and Husser (1899). But it also has the beginnings of his prairie style with the horizontal bands from the upper sills to the soffits. Of particular note is the use of wood trim within the upper horizontal bands. This became a design element in Wright's later Prairie styled homes. This is possibly the first home to utilize this design element.

Title:
Rollin Furbeck Residence 2002  (1897 - S.044).

Description:
The Rollin Furbeck Residence was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1897. Warren Furbeck gifted two Wright designed home to his sons, Rollin and George as wedding presents. The transition from Wright's earlier homes with Sullivanesque details, toward his Prairie style is evident in the Furbeck Home. The facade of the upper two floors in the front is similar to the Winslow (1894), Heller 1896) and Husser (1899). But it also has the beginnings of his prairie style. Wright created horizontal bands that ran between the upper sills and soffits. Of particular note is the use of wood trim within the upper horizontal bands. This is possibly the first home to utilize this design element. He also hung trim with square holes, from the center of the soffit. A single horizontal diamond-paned leaded glass window runs the length of two single paned windows. The Furbeck Residence is also Wright's first home to include large picture windows in the Living and Dining Rooms. Fluted columns are capped with stylized leaf patterned capitals on the second and third stories of the center three-story tower. The Living and Dining, Kitchen and Sitting Rooms as well as the Mezzanine are on the first floor. Three Bedrooms and two Baths are on the second. The third floor has two Bedrooms and the third Bath. The entrance to the home is reached through low capped walls. By the 1940s, they had been removed. Here they have been restored and match the original design. The front outside corners have brick piers or columns which are turned at a 45 degree angle. They begin at ground level and are capped at the window sills. They are also on the corners of the front's three story mass. Three 8-sided brick columns supporting the covered porch.  Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002.

Title: Mrs. Thomas Gale Residence (1904 S.098) 1969

Description: Stamped on verso: "Daily News, Jun 12 1969. Article on verso: "By Susan Root. Living in a Frank Lloyd Wright house these days requires a little suffering for the sake of art. But many feel the experience is worth it. Among them is Chicago architect Howard A. Rosenwinkel, who lives with his wife and four children in a home at 6 Elizabeth Court, Oak Park, that has been called "Wright's solution to the small house." Some of the sacrifices they are making to maintain architectural "purity" include living with sloping floors and settled window panels of lovely leaded glass that leave a quarter-inch opening for winter winds to whistle through. Then there are the radiators hidden behind grates that look attractive but five little heat in the living room, a single bathroom for a family of six and total lack of insulation. What makes it worth it is the architect's pleasure in living in a house of such prefect scale and proportions. "The flow of space and the detailing in this house are unique." explains Mrs. Rosenwinkel. Acquired from the archives of the Chicago Daily News.

Description:
Taken during a trip to Oak Park in September, 2002. A Victorian home was located one lot South of the Nathan G. Moore Home (1895 - S.034). Moore purchased the home in 1900 and hired Wright to remodel the home as a wedding gift for his daughter and her husband, Mary and Edward R. Hills.

Where the front door originally faced the street (East), it now faced North obscured from view. One of the interesting features is Wright's use of a double-sloped roof, which appears as a flare at the bottom of the roof. Another element is Wright's use of a horizontal band that incorporates the window sills of the upper levels. Within the horizontal band, Wright adds additional wood trim as a design element.

7) Mary and Edward R. Hills Remodeling (1900, 1906 - S.051) 2002, viewed from the East. Stereotypical of many of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes is the front entrance being obscured from view. Placing it at the back of the front porch does just that. The upper window on the right, placed at a 45 degree angle allows light into the stairway that leads from the first floor to the second. Wright created a horizontal band on the second level that covered the area between the window sills and the soffits. Between the windows Wright added wood trim as part of the design.

Date: Circa 1940

Title: William Everett Martin Residence (1902 - S.061), circa 1940, viewed from East Avenue.

Description: William Everett Martin was born in Bouckville, New York in 1863. He moved to Chicago in 1882 and formed Martin & Barton with his brother-in-law George F. Barton (1903 - S.103) which manufactured stove polish. In 1895, Darwin bought out George and moved him to the Larking Company in Buffalo, thus established a partnership with his brother William creating Martin & Martin, Inc. They manufactured polish under the brand E-Z polish for both stoves and shoes. William Martin first met Frank Lloyd Wright in late 1902 when he was searching for an architect to build his home in Oak Park, Illinois. Darwin D. Martin was so impressed with Wright and his brother's home that he commissioned Wright to the design the Larkin Company Administration Building (1903 - S.093) and his own home (1904 - S.100). William Martin would commission Wright again in 1909 to design a Pergola. Photographed by Gilman Lane. Courtesy of The Art Institute of Chicago, Ryerson & Burnham Archives.

Author: Lesniak, Jack

Description:
This is the third time I have gathered research on the Martin House. I started in 1991, embellished it in 1995 and dressed it up a little for this year's Wright Plus 2000... On September 11, 1902, Darwin Martin visited his brother William in Chicago and together they toured Oak Park where William intended to build a new house. Frank Lloyd Wright's distinctive houses caught their attention and led them to seek out Wright's Oak Park Studio. Frank Lloyd Wright was not in his studio that day, but the Martins spoke with Walter Burley Griffin and discussed plans for a house. Later, when William Martin eventually met FLLW, he sent a letter in October of 1902 to his brother Darwin in which he wrote: "Dear Dar, I have been - seen - talked to, admired, one of nature's noblemen ... Frank Lloyd Wright...". This letter resulted in an invitation for FLLW to visit Buffalo, New York and the commissions for the Larkin Office Building and seven other structures.... (Third Edition)

       Besides the William Martin, there are a number of low-back chairs Frank Lloyd Wright designed with “handholds.” One is in Frank Lloyd Wright’s Home and Studio (0104.15, 1981.124), which appears to match the William Martin. A second is the Avery Coonley (1988.142, 1989.132), and a variation for the Meyer May (1987.67).
       An unidentified manufacturer’s mark is stamped on the inside of the back apron: “Feb 02, 1992 - 004.”

Exterior changes were to the roof and veranda. The veranda extended across the front, was covered, and was circular on either end. Plans are published in Frank Lloyd Wright Monograph 1887-1901, Pfeiffer, 1986/1991, p.93.
       The first project Frank Lloyd Wright designed for Roberts was a house in 1892 (FLLW #9210). Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer describes the details as consistent in all the "bootleg houses." Wright 1885-1916, 2011, p.37.
       1896 and 1897 were busy years for Wright and Roberts. It began with the Roberts Residence Remodeling (1896 - S.040). Next was a clock that Wright designed for Robert's home, (1896 - FLLW #9611). It remained a project. He also designed a Summerhouse for Roberts (1896 - FLLW #9611), which also remained a project.

        In 1896 Charles Roberts commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design homes for a housing project he was developing, Ridgeland Houses. Ridgeland is within the Oak Park Historic District. Charles E. Roberts asked Frank Lloyd Wright to design 4-5 houses to be built in the Ridgeland district. Wright signed the drawings, "House for Mr. C. E. Roberts, Ridgeland, Frank Lloyd Wright, Arch'. Jan 20, 1896." The houses use basically the same plan, with variations. The houses were not built, and Wright utilized one of the plans, No. 2, for the Harry C. Goodrich Residence, Oak Park, Illinois (1896 - S.042).
       Harry Clinton Goodrich (1896 - S.042) was an inventor, business and salesman and a client of Frank Lloyd Wright. He held over 100 patents, his most successful were attachments for sewing machines. He was a stockholder in the Chicago, Pekin and Southwestern Railway. He founded the Chicago Screw Company and held the controlling interest in the Company. For this venture, Goodrich went into partnership with another Wright client Charles E. Roberts, also an inventor, who became president and played a great role in the development of the company. In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright designed a Factory Building for the Chicago Screw Company (FLLW #9704). Roberts initialed the design, which remained a project.
       Also in 1897, Roberts was developing a full city block in Chicago and commissioned Wright to design the "Block Plan" (FLLW #9705). It included 22 lots with the center being an green space open to all owners. Wright produced a plot plan and plans for one of the homes.
       In 1900 Roberts commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design a stable for the back of his property (1900 - S.041). It is located at the back of the property on the alley, with access to Euclid Street by a sidewalk that runs along the South side of the Roberts house. It was later converted to a garage, then into a home. Roberts commissioned many projects with Frank Lloyd Wright, but the house and the stables were the only two completed.
       In 1903 Frank Lloyd Wright designed a second "Block Plan (FLLW #0309) for Roberts. In the February, 1901, Ladies Home Journal, Frank Lloyd Wright designed and published his concept for the "Quadruple Block Plan" as part of "A Home in a Prairie Town." "The block plan... shows an arrangement of the four houses that secures breadth and prospect to the community as a whole, and absolute privacy both as regards each to the community, and each to each of the four. The perspective view shows the handling of the group at the centre of the block..." Ladies Home Journal, February, 1901, p. 17. Four homes were connected by a low wall. In 1903 Wright expanded on his "Quadruple" theory by planning a city block for Charles E. Roberts, designing eight sets of four homes for a total of 32 homes. "Wright, 1885-1916", Pfeiffer, 2011, pp. 204-206. Four homes were connected by a low wall. The project remained unrealized.
       In 1910, when Frank Lloyd Wright published Ausgeführte Bauten und Entwurfe von Frank Lloyd Wright, it included a descriptive booklet. Page 31 included Wrights acknowledgment: "Charles E. Roberts, Francis W. Little and Darwin D. Martin - three American men of affairs, who have believed in and befriended this work when natural opposition from without and inherent faults within threatened to make an end to it. Without their faith and help this work would never have reached its present development. Frank Lloyd Wright."
       Taliesin Fellowship was formed in the 1932, and Wright remodeled the original Hillside Home School Building. In 1934, "Extensive operations at Hillside have added two new studios to the Fellowship's list of accomplishments and they have been named after two of the old Hillside Home School patrons - The Dana Gallery, named for Mrs. Susan Laurence Dana of Springfield, Illinois, who gave to Hillside the north wing of the school and The Roberts Room dedicated to the patronage of Mr. Charles E. Roberts of Chicago." July 12, 1934, At Taliesin, Henning, 1992, p.63-64. Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer explained, "...the Roberts Room and Dana Gallery - named after the two clients in 1902 who had given funds to help build Hillside at that time - were remodeled as drawing storage area and exhibition space."

CHARLES ROBERTS STABLES (1900 - S.041)
   
Date: 1946

Title: Charles E. Roberts Residence, Oak Park, Illinois, Roberts Electric Car, 1946 (1896 - S.040).

Description: 1896 Roberts Electric car, driven by Mr. Firestone in 1946 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Charles E. Roberts was a client of Frank Lloyd Wright's and strong supporter. Wright remodeled his home in 1896 (S.040), and his Stable in 1900 (S.041). One of Robert's inventions was an electric car. According to Jorge Lucendo, "The "Roberts Electric" car was a "'Stanhope" type car. It was equipped with two 60-volt electric motors, each acting on one of the rear wheels. Using both motors could circulate at 20 mph and had a range of 40 miles... The total length was 89 inches and the wheelbase was 54". The car "Roberts Electric", was manufactured and marketed by the "Standard Screw Company" of Chicago, Illinois, between 1896 and 1897." Most enthusiasts recognize that it was way ahead of its time. In 2012, the Chevy Volt got 40 miles to the charge. Courtesy of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Description: Set of 7 exterior photographs of the Charles Roberts Stable. Like the Heurtley Cottage (1902 - S.075), plans for the Roberts Stable have not survived to fully document Wright's full involvement in the structure. According to Storrer, local documents indicate that a barn may have been replaced by a Wright designed stable. Storrer dates the Stable remodel circa 1900.
       What we do know is that the original Robert's house was design by Daniel Burnham in 1879, and remodeled by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1896 (S.040)... Continue...

CHARLES ROBERTS STABLES 2018
   
Charles E. Roberts Stable, Oak Park, Illinois 2018 (1896 - S.041). Set of 7 exterior photographs of the Charles Roberts Stable. Like the Heurtley Cottage (1902 - S.075), plans for the Roberts Stable have not survived to fully document Wright's full involvement in the structure. According to Storrer, local documents indicate that a barn may have been replaced by a Wright designed stable. Storrer dates the Stable remodel circa 1900.
       What we do know is that the original Robert's house was design by Daniel Burnham in 1879, and remodeled by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1896 (S.040). It was typical for that time period, pre-automobile, to have a stable or barn in the alley for the owner's horse and buggy. Burnham may have designed the original barn at that time.
       We also know that Charles E. Roberts was a successful inventor and business man. He was a strong supporter of Wright's work, especially on Unity Temple, as Wright attests to in
  An Autobiogrphy. Roberts also worked with Wright on a number of additional projects.
       One of Robert's inventions was an electric car, patent number 748.105. According to Jorge Lucendo, "The "Roberts Electric" car was a "'Stanhope" type car. It was equipped with two 60-volt electric motors, each acting on one of the rear wheels. Using both motors could circulate at 20 mph and had a range of 40 miles... The total length was 89 inches and the wheelbase was 54". The car "Roberts Electric", was manufactured and marketed by the "Standard Screw Company" of Chicago, Illinois, between 1896 and 1897." Most enthusiasts recognize that it was way ahead of its time. In 2012, the Chevy Volt got 40 miles to the charge.
       Eventually the building was remodeled again and converted to a house, which it is today.

FRANK W. THOMAS RESIDENCE: THE SKETCH BOOK (1905)
The Sketch Book - September 1905. Author: Morris, Alfred.
Frank Thomas Residence (1901 - S.067) "A Constant Home. Design and ornament in the home is of such vast importance, that when one comes across a worthy example - one that is consistent and sane - it would surely seem indifferent not to praise. The examples of the exterior and interior applications of design, in the photographs herewith, are ones that have not only a most harmonious consistency, but they also exhibit originality; originality not of the clever sort, but that of dignity and consistent beauty. This house in question is in Oak Park, Illinois, and was designed by that skillful architect and draughtsman, Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright... Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright is original with a reason. His sense of proportion in design is always rational and animated with beauty. His architecture is of a distinct type, harmonious and quietly elegant..."

The House Beautiful - October 1911. Author: Charles E. White. Frank Thomas Residence (1901 - S.067) "Consider how much more pleasing a small-paned windows is over windows containing large sheets of glass. The idea should be to give windows a pattern or texture which will be pleasing from outside as well as inside (Plate O), making the windows do their part toward improving the architectural effect."

FRANK W. THOMAS RESIDENCE 2002

Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). Designed in 1901 by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Frank Thomas Residence is considered to be Wright's first fully developed prairie styled house in Oak Park. It is also the first house in Oak Park to be completely designed in Stucco. Upon entering the archway, stairs lead up to the Terrace and main living quarters on the second level. The Living Room is to the left, Dining Room on the right. The Kitchen is strait ahead. A back stairway leads to the bedrooms on the third floor. The ground floor was for the house staff. Some of the design features included beaded molding and exquisite leaded glass windows. Photographs from the 1940s show that the stucco surface is covered in shingles. But during the 1975 restoration by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coleman, the stucco surface was restored.

The following text is a reprint of the article from The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris.

 
1) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). Thomas Residence viewed from the street. "The general lines of the building are very similar to may other examples of the work of this architect. The entrance appears to be on a level with the street, but after passing the villa-like walk you are lead by winding stairs up to the 'front door' and underneath the wide roof, that is always a positive feature of Mr. Wright's architecture. The porch, that extends to the extreme left in the photograph, has no connection with the entrance: this insures privacy and comfort." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-1)
 
2) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of the covered Porch and Terrace. "On the main floor is a large library and living-room, a dining room and kitchen; upstairs there are three bed-rooms and a bath; to the 'basement' which is on a level with the ground, are consigned the servants' rooms, etc. By this arrangement, also, it will be noted that the uniqueness of design is not out done by the uniqueness of plan."  The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-2)
 
3) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). Thomas Residence viewed from the street. "As in all of Mr. Wright's homes, the design and ornament is characteristically his. In this special house, though the design is universal, it is not so complex and engrossing that the individuality of the owners is not allowed to assert itself. This is a most important feature in any home -- this individuality." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-3)
 
4) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). Thomas Residence viewed from the street. "The circular band of wood decoration that arches the main entrance and extends around the porch railings and even at the ends of the wide roof, is carried out in detail on all the wood work inside of the house. This decoration consists of a beading indented in a panel, and an angular cornice... The library, hallway and dining-room have this treatment more ornately than any other parts of the interior. With the
immense amount of wood used on the first floor, this design works itself into every 'nook and cranny." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-4)
5) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). Thomas Residence viewed from the street. "The doors and bric-a-hrac shelves, the panels and foot-boards all fall under this handling. The effect is one of completeness and harmony. The scheme is so beautiful and dignified that it never becomes tire some. The impression given is one of repose, especially with the pleasing brown stain of the wood and golden browns of the walls. Mr. Wright's color schemes are always masterly. He has that exquisite sense of tone value that is always appealing." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-5)
 
6) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of Thomas entrance on the second level. "The leaded glass windows that run nearly the full length of the two sides of the library are as excellent in design as the details just mentioned. This design. that coincides so delightfully with the whole modeling of the house, is carried out in all the doors and windows of the first floor." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-6)
 
7) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of Thomas entrance on the second level. "With all the minuteness of detail in ornament that Mr. Wright has enveloped in this residence the character of the home. as stated before. is still retained. There is plenty of leaway given the owners to assert their own ideas. Strange to say, one feels that the whole matter was planned. in general. by the occupants. The dignity and restfulness is there. Not the dignity that presages coldness. but one that indicates a strength of poise. And restfulness is imparted on account of unity: the convicting elements are eliminated." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image.

8) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of Thomas entrance on the second level. "This house is not one of Mr. Wright's latest constructions. nor is it one that stands for his best work. It was erected some three or four years ago, and in this length of time an artist's methods and ideas may change entirely. We take it. however, that the stamp of a genius' work is always noticeable, what, ever deviation may occur in his handling." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-8)
 
9) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of Thomas entrance on the second level. "This home illustrates an ideal. It holds within it a constant interest and beauty. It defies custom and points out individuality. Its refinement is inherent and it discourages the common and vulgar forms. As to the cost of its construction it comes within an appropriation that any ordinarily successful merchant, or professional man could easily meet." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-9)
9A) Detail of the Thomas Residence leaded glass windows.
 
10) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of Thomas entrance on the second level. "With the average 'front-foot' of ground allotted to the great percentage of our city homes of to-day, the majority of architects afford too little thought to the arrangement and privacy of that necessary, life-producing adjunct, the 'porch.' I mention this, because the arrangement shown here is an excellent example of what a porch should really be. Most of us labor under the idea that a porch is a place where one can look and be looked upon. A porch, in reality, should serve almost the same purpose as a room and embody all the privacy possible. Otherwise it were better no porch be considered at all; it would appear much more sensible to press the yard into service." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-10)
 
11) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of Thomas entrance on the second level. "Originality, by its very fearlessness, is engaging. Where originality vibrates with reason it is fascinating. Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright is original with a reason. His sense of proportion in design is always rational and animated with beauty. His architecture is of a distinct type, harmonious and quietly elegant." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-11)

12) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of Thomas entrance on the second level. "In our home life it is well not to strain too much for effect. Simplicity is always charming. Our surroundings in a way, mirror our natures and aims. Complex and mixed arrangements designate a scattered thought-power and a discontent emanating from a lack of purpose. Money can mar or make." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image. (ST#2002.116-12)
 
13) Frank Wright Thomas Residence 2002 (1901 - S.067). View of Thomas entrance on the second level. "There are hundreds of examples of costly homes that stand for absolutely nothing artistically, and numerous ones that moderate expenditures construct that stand for positive beauty. This argues for neither class of home particularly, but for art solely. Character and art are the things we want in our home life: the existence of these, or the lack of them define our attitudes." The Sketch Book, September 1905, "A Constant Home," Alfred Morris. Photographed by Douglas M. Steiner in September 2002. 35mm color negatives and 14 x 9" high res color digital image.

WILLIAM H. WINSLOW RESIDENCE & STABLE (1894 - S.024 & S.025)
 
The William H. Winslow Residence (1894 - S.024) was Frank Lloyd Wright's first independent commission after leaving Sullivan's office. Winslow was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and in 1883 at 26 became partner of the Hecla Iron Works. In 1885,when an opportunity arose, he moved to Chicago and with E. T. Harris, formed Harris and Winslow, manufacturing ornamental iron. Harris retired and with his brother Francis formed Winslow Bros. Ornamental Ironworks which he became president of, eventually opening offices in eight other major cities across the country.
        Wright first met Winslow while working in Sullivan's office. "W.H. Winslow... had often been to Adler and Sullivan's to consult with me about the work of that office. W. H. now turned up to give me my first job... He had become my friend..."
          Winslow acquired the property on Auvergne Place from Edward C. Waller, who lived across the street and later became one of Wright's important clients (S.030, 031, 047, 065, 066, 166). Waller's son commissioned Wright to design Midway Gardens (1913 - S.180). Also in 1894 Wright designed four rowhouses for Robert W. Roloson (1894 - S.026), Waller's son-in-law.
       
In 1895 Wright design an office building for the American Luxfer Prism Company, one of the companies Winslow and Waller formed with three other partners. Winslow invented a process of joining glass pieces together. The project was never built, but in 1897 Wright, Robert C. Spencer, Waller and Winslow created designs related to Prism glass blocks. Wright (41), Winslow (11), Waller (2) filed patents. Continued...

Description: "Brick Architecture in and about Chicago." An article that includes the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. It includes extensive descriptions, and images of the The Winslow Stable (1894 - S.025); Francis Apartments (1895 - S.032); Heller (2) (1896 - S.038); Husser (1899 - S.046); Charnley (1891 - S.009); Francisco Terrace (1895 - S.030); Winslow (1894 - S.024); Moore I (1895 - S.034). Very helpful in dating photographs of Wright's early. Excerpts:
       Frank Lloyd Wright's houses are all original and interesting. The house at River Forest (Winslow) is the architect's work best known and, on the whole, the most successful. The richly ornamented frieze and simple, widespreading roof are in perfect harmony with the site, the chief feature of which is a grand twin elm. In coloring, the house is very rich, the bricks are Roman of an almost orange tan in the mass, and are full of variety in shading and texture. The roof is of shingle tile especially burned to a rare, dull salmon pink.
The little stable and workshop (Winslow) is classic in composition and terminates the vista through the porte-cochere.(Digital edition.) (Sweeney 54)

HARRISON P. YOUNG RESIDENCE (1895 - S.036)
 
Date: 1935

Title: Harrison P. Young Residence Additions and Remodel, Oak park (1895 - S.036) circa 1935.

Description: View from the street, left and front sides. Frank Lloyd Wright remodeled the home in 1895. It was originally built is the 1870s and designed by William E. Coman. Wright's modifications which were pretty extensive in 1895, included moving the house 16.5 feet further back into the lot, a new Living Room, two second floor Bedrooms, the addition of a wide porch, and reconfiguring the house's interior spaces. This would indicate the front of the house was an addition, and Wright's design. Details such as semi-circular window on top, the diamond shaped panes of leaded glass, decorative bracing above the three upper windows and the roof overhang, the upper corner plaster panels, and the cantilevered porch roof. Wright also designed the fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom. The original front stairs that Wright designed were reached at the end of the sidewalk where they paralleled the front porch. A left turn to the top of the stairs, then a right turn brought you up to the porch. The stairs were hidden behind the porch wall. The porch roof cantilevers over the drive on the North (left) end. There is a similarity to the design of the A.W. Herbert Residence remodeling, Evanston, IL (1902 - S.089). Photographed by Gilman Lane.
