Van Bergen. He joined Wright in 1909. He produced many working drawings and was supervisor for the Robie House and the Mrs. Thomas Gale House. After leaving Wright's studio he briefly worked for another former Wright employee, William Eugene Drummond. In 1911 he started his own practice. His first design commission was for the Elizabeth Manson House in Oak Park. This is the home pictured in the article. Includes 8 photographs.
