Westcott House, Prairie style residence in Springfield, United States.
The Westcott House features extended horizontal lines, low-pitched roofs, and natural materials that connect the main building to a carriage house.
Built in 1904 for Burton and Orpha Westcott, the residence underwent a complete restoration in 2001 that required an investment of 5.3 million dollars.
The building represents Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School movement, emphasizing the connection between interior spaces and the surrounding environment through its design.
Guided tours of the residence allow visitors to explore both floors of the main house, the connecting pergola, and the carriage house throughout the week.
The property includes a wooden trellis-covered pergola connecting the main house to the carriage house, a feature present in few Prairie style residences.

Frank Lloyd Wright developed one of the most influential architectural styles of the 20th century over seven decades of practice. His buildings connect interior spaces with surrounding landscapes through horizontal lines, natural materials, and open floor plans. From the Prairie Houses of the Midwest to the post-war Usonian homes, Wright created designs that transformed American residential architecture. His major works include Fallingwater, built over a waterfall in Pennsylvania, the Guggenheim Museum in New York with its spiral ramp, and the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which survived the great 1923 earthquake. The Robie House in Chicago demonstrates his Prairie School principles, while Taliesin West in Arizona served as his winter home and architecture school. His structures are located across the United States, Japan, and Europe, demonstrating his vision of organic architecture that works in harmony with nature.
