The gently sloping hipped roof and very wide eaves of this unpretentious wood framed home are suggestive of Prairie style architecture originally developed by the famous Chicago architect Frank Lloyd Wright (1869 19S9:). Wright felt that the emphasis on horizontal lines and low proportions was appropriate for the open flat landscape of the North American grasslands. Wright often incorporated design elements associated with the Craftsman Movement into his architecture. The brackets at the top of the porch columns and the style of the front door are two such elements.
