Ulysses G. Orendorff House, Prairie School residence in Canton, Illinois
The Ulysses G. Orendorff House features two prominent front gables with wooden grids containing rows of windows and geometric patterns at 345 West Elm Street.
Built in 1902 for the son of a farming equipment manufacturer, this house was designed by Robert C. Spencer, who trained under Frank Lloyd Wright.
The residence represents the transition of architectural styles from Tudor to Prairie School, incorporating natural materials with modern decorative elements throughout the structure.
The property includes a carriage house with a basketball court, an 18-hole miniature golf course, and maintains its status on the National Register.
Known locally as 'Redcrest,' this house combines horizontal design elements with intricate wooden grids, marking a departure from traditional early 1900s architecture.
