FRANCIS J. WOOLLEY RESIDENCE 2019
 

Francis James Woolley Residence, Oak Park, Illinois (1893 - S.023). Set of 40 photographs of the Francis James Woolley House. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1893, it is similar to those designed during his "Bootlegged" houses, but there are hints of Prairie elements. Wright specified 2 1/4 siding on the first floor, running up to the window sills, finished off to the soffit line in 6 inch shingle courses. In the 1980s, the house was covered in vinyl siding, but since restored. Few early photographs exist of the Woolley residence. Grant Manson who extensively covered Wright’s career, "Frank Lloyd Wright To 1910" simply includes one footnote, "...the Francis Woolley house in Oak Park, a design of late 1893, which is truly commonplace." Although the house is designed with three octagonal bays, they are not as prominent as the Emmond (1892 - S.015), Gale (1892 - S.016) and Parker (1892 - S.017) houses.
       Woolley was an attorney with an office on LaSalle Street in Chicago. By 1911 he had moved to Glencoe. "Francis James

  Woolley, lawyer, born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on February 17, 1865. He was the son of James T. And Mary A (Shearman) Woolley. He married Cora B. Low, of Kalamazoo Michigan on June 28, 1892. He had two children, Francis I. and Alice. He was admitted to the bar in 1890..." The Book of Chicagoans, 1911. It should be noted that Taylor Woolley, a young architect that worked in Wright’s Oak Park Studio, in Italy while Wright was preparing the Wasmuth Portfolio, and in Taliesin, is not related to Francis J. Woolley. Taylor Woolley was born in Salt Lake City in 1884, moved to Chicago, then moved back to Salt Lake City. One other note: On the original plans, Wright spelled the clients name with one "L", Wooley. His name is spelled with two "L’s," Woolley.
