A prairie-style house, rendered here with a garden and a ring of mature trees, points to one of the most influential American residential designs of the early twentieth century. The style grew out of Midwestern architects' work around Chicago, most closely associated with Frank Lloyd Wright, who favored low, horizontal rooflines, broad eaves, and open interior plans that seemed to belong to the flat landscape around them. Illustrations like this one often circulated in architectural journals and builders' catalogs, helping spread the look to suburbs and small towns well beyond the Midwest. Look closely at how the house is tied to its grounds, since that connection between building and garden was central to the movement's ideas.
