Rendered as a perspective drawing, this study shows a low, horizontal house set among trees, with the long roofline and wide eaves that define the prairie style. That style took shape in the Midwest in the early 1900s, when architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright sought homes that seemed to grow out of the flat land around them rather than rise above it. Drawings like this one were how such designs were presented to clients and builders before construction began, so the image records an idea as much as a building. Its value lies in showing how the house was meant to sit within its landscape.
