Arthur Heurtley House - Oak Park, Illinois

This is another house right near Frank Lloyd Wright's home in Oak Park. It is the Arthur Heurtley House and was built in 1902.

You can see the wikipedia article on the Heurtley House, HERE.

From what they say, it is the first full on Prairie Style home that Frank Lloyd Wright built and the patterns he came up with, would appear, over and over again, in his greatest works. I am not a full connoisseur of the many styles of Frank, but I could tell immediately, that this was one of his. I was pleased when I found a photo of the home, to confirm that fact. There is just something about FLW.

It's a beautiful home and I would love to live there.
