Mrs. Fields did not have to say who ‘he’ is - her house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, who lived in Oak park from 1889 until 1909. In that period and the years just following, Wright designed or altered almost 30 houses here and in neighboring River Forest, where the Field’s house was built originally for Arthur Davenport in 1901... Several Wright houses have sold recently for about $170,000, about 20 to 25 percent more than other homes in the neighborhood..." Photographed by Yuichi Idaka for the New York Times.

JEAN S. & PAUL R. HANNA RESIDENCE (1936 - S.235) Date: 1941 Title: Design for the Vigo Sundt House (Project 1941).
Description: Caption on verso: "Frank Lloyd Wright used the Hexagon in his design of the Vigo Sundt House in Madison, Wis. This utilization of geometry in 1941 was because Wright believed 60-degree angles were 'more suited' to humans." Stamped n Verso: "Sep 24 1967." The first home Wright designed and built utilizing the hexagonal "honeycomb" design was the Hanna Residence (S.235 1936). This was a year after Fallingwater, the same year Wright designed the Herbert Jacobs Residence, his first Usonian home, and the S.C. Johnson & Son Administration Building. Other homes utilizing the hexagon design included the Sidney Bazett Residence (S.259 1939), the Stevens Residence (Auldbrass, S.256 1940), and the Stuart Richardson Residence (S.282 1940). Others were designed, but were never completed. This home is very similar to the Richardson Residence. Obtained from the archives of the Chicago Sun-Times.

SARA & MELVYN MAXWELL SMITH RESIDENCE (1946 - S.287) Date: 1975 Title: Melvyn Maxwell Smith Residence, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. (1946 - S.287).
Description: Exterior. Article taped to verso: "...It has been 25 years now. A quarter of a century since Smith, an English teacher now retired, finished building it. A quarter of a century after Smith, a would-be architect, suggested a design change that Wright -- acknowledged as one of the great architects – accepted and praised. A quarter of a century of utter fascination with the house and the man who designed it. It’s rare for a man to possess one great possession, said Smith, ‘but my most precious possession is my home.’ From the road, the house shows little more than cypress wood, brick, and a succession of tiny off-shaped windows. But on the other side of the house, the side a passer-by can’t see, complex geometries of glass sheets project in and out of that brick and cyprus framework. ‘It seems like a natural outcropping,’ said Smith, staring at the building. ‘Like a rock, or a bush or a tree." Wright believed that architecture should complement and blend with he land which surrounds it. So when Smith shows off his house, like any good advocate of Wright’s ‘organic architecture,’ he begins with a tour of the three acres of grounds. ‘This was all a swamp meadow before we dredged it up,’ he says... No other homes are visible from the rear of the house. Smith prefers it that way. Stamped on verso: "Photo by Richard Lee" and "Detroit Free Press, Aug 21, 1975". Published August 29, 1975.

House tours are popular in the Detroit area. ...another house on the tour, the home of Melvyn Smith. They built it themselves from plans prepared by Frank Lloyd Wright. It is a doll house, nestled behind junipers and mostly surrounded by lakes and ponds, one of the best examples of Mr. Wright’s feelings that a home should be scarcely distinguishable from the landscape surrounding it. The Smith house was put together with such loving care that its timbers are affixed with screws instead of nails. For years there was not a nail in the place, but one of the Smith children finally drove one in to hang something up, causing some trauma in the family. Tall people are advised to remove hats. The late Mr. Wright designed the place to the height of his client, who is five feet six."

Wright-designed house at 1445 Sheridan, Highland Park, built in 1902, is considered his first prairie masterpiece. Still an architectural showplace, it was scene of an art exhibit in February. ‘Our home is more than a house. It’s art,’ said Mrs. Belle Kerman." Ward W. Willits was the president of the Adams and Westlake Company, a brass and bronze foundry. Orlando Giannini, an artist who designed art glass and murals for Wright, also worked for Adams and Westlake. In 1905, Willits and his wife accompanied Frank and Catherine Wright on their first trip to Japan. Ward Willits lived in his home until his death in 1951 at the age of 92.

Description: Label on Verso: "Photographer: Bob Langer. Date: 5-19-83. Location: 1445 Sheridan Rd, Highland Park. Caption: Frank Lloyd Wright home at 1445 Sheridan Rd, Highland Park, Ill." Clipping pasted to verso: "A Highland Park house considered to be among Frank Lloyd Wright’s finest work may become a unique study retreat for architecture buffs. A trio of architects came up with the ambitious plan as a way to preserve the 80-year-old Ward Willits House, whose present owner can neither continue its upkeep nor find another buyer. One of the architects, former Wilmette resident David Sellers, of Warren, Vt., said the Sheridan Rd. house is Wright’s ‘first great masterpieces.’ He said that under the proposal, architects, students, art historians and other interested parties would live there up to a week, no more than 10 at a time. ‘The basic notion is that one who wants to study residential architecture do it under the conditions it was designed for – to live in it,’ Sellers said. ‘You want to spend more than an hour in the thing, to see the morning sun some up and see the evening sun go down.’ " Acquired from the archives of the Chicago Sun Times.
