Now what a stark contrast to the earlier works of Frank Lloyd Wright like the photo I posted last week: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Earlier Work The above photo was taken on the same street as the one in last week’s post, almost across the street from one other. Some people utterly loathe Frank Lloyd Wright’s style, while others adore it. He loved Japan, and you can certainly see a lot of Japanese influence in most of his work. Strangely enough, he always denied that fact for some reason. Built in 1902, this house represents one of his earliest “Prairie Style” structures. As with the other homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright on this particular street, I wanted catch a glimpse of who lives there, and what it feels like to walk the halls of such iconic structures. No such luck on this particular occasion!

My husband is a big Frank Lloyd Wright fan so we have toured a few over the years. They are pretty amazing!
Oh is he, Kat? They really are amazing, aren’t they? And FLW was wayyyyy ahead of his time! Cher xo
Taliesen, Falling Water….. love them all!
me too, Kat!! Cher xo
Its fascinating to see the architectural creations of Wright, I adore his retro style of the sixties, beautiful!
Believe it or not, this house was built in 1902! One of his earliest Prairie Style houses, it’s called the “Arthur B. Heurtley House”. Frank Lloyd Wright truly was ahead of his time! Cher xo
he was indeed, thank you for the opportunity to see some of his legacy.
Thank you, my dear! I am going to be doing a post sometime with photos from inside the house he lived in (on the same street and designed by him as well). Cher xo
I am so looking forward to that…thrilling!
Ah, thank you my dear! That makes me happy to hear! Cher xo
xo…can’t wait!
Yay!! xo
😀
Another gorgeous house, Cher! Too bad you couldn’t get inside 🙂
Isn’t it cool, Helen? *LOL* Well it’s funny because there was a man walking his dog nearby. I had this fleeting thought of, hhhmmm, should I ask? As it turned out, he walked up the driveway of another (stunning, yet not a FLW house)! Cher xo
Oh, too funny! You need to just hang around the neighbourhood stalking people, Cher 😀
I know, right? *LOL* *LOL* And the house that guy walked up to…………Wowsers!!! Maybe I could offer to take the dog for a walk and just happen to let it run up to the FLW house! Hahaha, well would you look at me talking all brave when I am really a chicken! 😉 xo
Ha ha, I’m sure you’re no chicken, Cher! I like your dog idea too 😀
*biggest grin*!!!!! I am a semi-chicken, actually! 😉
😀 Me too!

I grew up in Milwaukee, WI. I love Frank Lloyd Wright. My favorite place to go was House on the Rock. I still remember the great cauldron and the fireplace! Breathtaking! Lovely photo you shared. <3
Oh I would love to see that home! I’ve heard about the cauldron and the fireplace!! Why thank you my dear! I will be doing another post with photos inside the FLW home which is just down the street from the one I posted today! Cher xo
Woo HOO! Great news. I do love FLW’s style. <3
Yeay!!! Me too!! Cher xo
Years ago we visited a school in Wisconsin where they taught the prairie style architecture or perhaps were exhibiting it.
Oh did you? That must have been very interesting!!! Cher xo
