This collaboration of two of the world's most-famous architects combines
the geometry, massing, and detailing of a mature
Louis Sullivan
with the earliest hint of
Frank Lloyd Wright's
Prairie-style planning and design. A compact urban townhouse that takes
maximum advantage of its small city lot, it was built for James Charnley,
a Chicago lumber dealer. Wright later proclaimed it as "the first modern
house." It is located in the Astor Street District. |
