What it is

Wikipedia · Arthur Heurtley House

The Arthur Heurtley House is a Prairie-style residence at 318 Forest Avenue in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago in Illinois, United States. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed in 1902, the Heurtley House is one of the earliest examples of a Wright-designed house in full Prairie style. Its decorative features, such as horizontal design details, low roof, and pinwheel motifs, were reused in Wright's later Prairie-style works. The house is designated as a National Historic Landmark and is part of the Frank Lloyd Wright–Prairie School of Architecture Historic District, a National Register of Historic Places district.
