I lived next door to Robie House, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's prairie architecture homes, for several years and have visited others. Just love his work. Wonderful photos in the article.

Looks like a medical/dental office building...

There’s one of FLW’s houses in Yellow Springs Ohio. When I saw it in the mid 80’s, it was pretty run down had been made into crappy apartments. It was saved from demolition and completely restored in the early 2000’s.

I appreciate your posting of this Wright house I’d never heard of. The concept, layout, composition of forms, proportions, interior and exterior spaces, the treatment of light and shadow, high and low, the materials (giant, ill-proportioned, untextured concrete blocks - ugh) are just not up to Wright’s normal standards. I have to wonder if Wright did this, or if he parcelled it out to accolytes.

The Robie House is wonderful.

“In another [anecdote] instance, Jones’s wife was dashing around the living room during a torrential downpour, using pots and pans to catch the various leaks.”

Proof it is a Frank Lloyd Wright design! Every one of his houses I’ve ever heard about had roof leaks.
