What can I say about this wonderful Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home that I haven't said about other creations by the master architect. Generous property setting on gracious Sheridan Road in Highland Park. Intimate rooms, natural light from ample windows to decks and balconies drawing the eyes to the natural surroundings. Gorgeous woodwork throughout. Cozy niches begging to accommodate someone with a book to read. Is this Heaven? Pretty close! The only conceivable drawback: this early in the growing season (early May) the grounds need a lot of work to complete an appropriately beautiful setting for this jewel.

I located several Frank, L.W. buildings and this one is the largest. .from the side view, it has three floors on back part of the building. WIKI says this one is Frank's first designed house.
