Foster House is one of the few surviving buildings in Chicago designed by
Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the world's most famous architects. Its
Japanese-influenced design stands as an important part of the
development of Wright's influential architectural style. The house and
its stable were constructed as a summer residence for Stephen Foster, an
attorney who was a member of the real estate group that developed this
portion of West Pullman. |
