square-foot basement, and

a 3,000-feet stable space

that is connected to the

main building by

a breezeway.

PRAIRIE STYLE

The "Prairie School" is so

named because Wright, the

school's pioneer architect,

worked with his clients to

develop architectural spaces

that were inspired by the

natural plant forms of the tall

grass prairie that surroundedKankakee.

B. HARLEY BRADLEY HOUSE IN WINTER

EMIL BACH HOUSE

7415 N. Sheridan Road

Chicago, Illinios

The 2,700 ft²

(250.84 m²) house

was designed as a

two-story single

family residence

with a

basement.] When

the house was

constructed it was

a "country home"

with a clear view

of Lake Michigan

from its rear (east)

facade.

Kitchen (sympathetically updated)

As typical for Wright, the kitchen is rather small.

Originally, on the second floor there were three bedrooms and a maid's quarters,

which has now been turned into a sitting room and additional bathroom. All of the

bedrooms have windows on three sides, and access to the outside.

In all, it seems subsequent owners were rather kind to the house. All the original built-in

furniture was gone, however. There were plan and clues within the house, so everything has

been reproduced.
