Wilbur Wynant House, Prairie School residence in Gary, United States.
The Wilbur Wynant House was a Prairie School residence in Gary, Indiana that integrated horizontal lines and natural materials into the landscape. The building stood at 600 Fillmore Street and embodied the design principles of this architectural movement.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residence in 1916 as part of the Prairie School movement in American architecture. The building received recognition through listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
The residence embodied a new approach to American homes that aimed to connect buildings with their surroundings. People interested in architecture valued this style for bringing nature and design together.
The house no longer exists today because a fire in 2006 led to its destruction and the site later became a vacant lot. Visitors can explore the history of the place by familiarizing themselves with documented architectural plans and photographs.
The design emerged from a collaboration between Frank Lloyd Wright and architect Ingwalk Moe, who contributed innovative elements for its time. This partnership resulted in a home that was technically advanced and showed new approaches to residential design.
