Model A231 is one of the standardized house designs Frank Lloyd Wright developed under the name American System-Built Houses, which aimed to bring the economy of factory-made parts to ordinary home building. Wright worked on the system around 1915 with the Richards Company of Lockport, New York, which manufactured the components so that a family could assemble a well-proportioned house from a catalog of pieces. The system was an early attempt at prefabrication, and its low-slung roofs, horizontal lines, and open interiors show Wright's prairie-style ideas applied to a smaller, more affordable scale. Look closely at how the plan and massing reflect a design built for repetition rather than a single custom commission.
