Frank Thomas House

The Frank W. Thomas House features a distinctive L-shaped floor plan with elevated rooms, stucco exterior walls, and broad roof overhangs at 210 Forest Avenue.

Constructed in 1901 for James C. Rogers' daughter and her husband, this residence represents Frank Lloyd Wright's first fully developed Prairie Style house in Oak Park.

The residence incorporates geometric patterns in woodwork and leaded glass windows, reflecting Wright's philosophy of integrating architectural elements with natural forms.

The National Register of Historic Places lists this property, which occupies 0.3 acres and includes a basement transformed into ground-level living space.

The entrance sequence includes an arched doorway with a concealed upper door, connected by winding staircases leading to an elevated terrace.
