One of the last of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright's designs for a
small urban house, this residence combines elements of the Prairie style
with a compact plan well suited for its mid-block site. The inward
orientation of the house--with its entrance virtually hidden from
Sheridan Road--ensures the privacy of its residents and reflects
Wright's ideas for the importance of family life. The house was designed
for Emil Bach, who was co-owner of the Bach Brick Company and a great
admirer of Wright's work. |
