The largest concentration of small-scale,
Prairie School -style houses in Chicago. Seven of these residences were
designed by Walter
Burley Griffin , an architect who began his career with
Frank Lloyd Wright. An eighth Prairie -style house was designed by
Spencer and Powers. So-called "builders' houses," which were constructed
by contractors from plans popularized in building magazines of the same
period, complete the street. |
