Rollin Furbeck House, Prairie School residence in Oak Park, Illinois.
The three-story house features a cruciform-pinwheel layout with porches extending toward the east and west, incorporating vertical octagon-shaped columns throughout the structure.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residential building in 1897 as a wedding gift from stockbroker Warren F. Furbeck to his son Rollin Judson Furbeck.
The residence demonstrates Wright's transition from rectangular forms to more innovative designs, marking a pivotal moment in American architectural development.
Located at 515 Fair Oaks Avenue, the house maintains its original features through regular preservation efforts and received multiple Historic Preservation Awards.
The property incorporates geometric shapes in both exterior and interior designs, with diamond-paned windows and a substantial concrete fireplace integrated into the wall.
