George W. Smith House, Residential architecture in Oak Park, United States
The George W. Smith House exhibits Shingle style architecture with wooden exterior cladding, high-pitched double-slope roofs, and spacious rooms with 10-foot ceilings.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this house in 1895 for Charles E. Roberts as part of an economical homes project, though construction finished in 1898 for a Marshall Field salesman.
The residence represents a transition period in American architecture, revealing early elements that Wright later developed into his distinctive Prairie style designs.

The house contains a notable angled break in the roofline and a broad, flat chimney, elements that distinguish it from other structures of the same period.
