Frank J. Baker House

The Frank J. Baker House exhibits horizontal lines, multiple bedrooms, three fireplaces, and extensive windows that illuminate its spacious interior across 4,800 square feet.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed this T-shaped floor plan residence in 1909, incorporating architectural elements that became fundamental to the Prairie School movement in American architecture.

The incorporation of natural materials, custom woodwork, and built-in furniture within the house reflects the early 20th-century shift toward integrated architectural design principles.

Located at 507 Lake Avenue, the residence contains five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and features a twenty-two-foot dining room with diamond leaded-glass windows.

The house includes a two-story living room with a cathedral-like cantilever ceiling extending into a loft, making it a rare example of Wright's T-shaped floor designs.
