Gauler Twin Houses, Prairie School residence in Chicago, United States
The Gauler Twin Houses at 5917 and 5921 North Magnolia Avenue share a front entrance walkway and feature mirror image floor plans.
In 1908, architect Walter Burley Griffin designed these twin houses for John Gauler, a Chicago butcher involved in land speculation.
The houses demonstrate how Prairie School principles, with horizontal lines and natural materials, adapted to smaller urban residential settings.
The property maintains recognition on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977 and received Chicago Landmark status in 2000.
The vertical composition of these houses represents a departure from traditional Prairie School designs while maintaining the style's core principles.
