Ravine Bluffs Development
Ravine Bluffs Development, Prairie School residential development in Glencoe, US.
The Ravine Bluffs complex contains six houses with identical floor plans, three concrete sculptures, and a bridge crossing over the natural terrain.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this development in 1915 for his attorney Sherman Booth Jr, creating rental properties based on his Fireproof House concept.
The buildings demonstrate the Prairie School principles through horizontal lines, natural materials, and integration with the surrounding landscape.
The development maintains its original residential function, with houses regularly undergoing restoration work to preserve their architectural elements.
The Sylvan Road Bridge at Ravine Bluffs remains one of only two bridges Wright constructed during his career, with Fallingwater containing the other.
