Model C3 is one of the standardized house designs from Frank Lloyd Wright's American System-Built Houses, a plan to bring well-designed homes within reach of ordinary families through factory-made parts. Wright developed the system in the 1910s, when he was looking for ways to extend his architecture beyond custom commissions for wealthy clients. Each house was assembled from uniform components cut to size before shipping, which cut labor and cost at the building site. The venture struggled to find buyers, but its emphasis on modular construction anticipated later prefabrication. Notice the low horizontal lines and wide overhangs that carry Wright's Prairie-style vocabulary into a modest, repeatable form.
