Robert P. Parker House, Queen Anne residence in Oak Park, United States

The Parker House features two octagonal spires with large windows and a central fireplace that serves both the parlor and dining room.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed this house in 1892 while working for Louis Sullivan, leading to his dismissal for taking unauthorized outside commissions.

The residence exemplifies Wright's early architectural period, combining Victorian elements with innovative spatial arrangements that influenced his later Prairie School designs.

The four-bedroom house includes modern amenities, custom wood cabinetry, and restored original features such as leaded glass windows and decorative wall stenciling.

The interior contains a separate dark stairway for servants that connects to a brighter main staircase, reflecting social distinctions of the late 19th century.
