Edwin H. Cheney House, Prairie School residence in Oak Park, United States.
The Edwin H. Cheney House features a single hipped roof covering both living and sleeping rooms, with wide eaves protecting nestled windows.
Commissioned in 1903 by electrical engineer Edwin Cheney, this Frank Lloyd Wright design became part of the Prairie School of Architecture Historic District.
The residence displays the Prairie School architectural elements through its horizontal lines, open floor plan, and integration with the surrounding environment.
Located at 520 North East Avenue, the house includes a walled terrace at the front, with dining room, living room, and library forming one continuous space.
The fir-trimmed interiors showcase wooden posts and cabinets that divide the longitudinal space, while maintaining the continuous ceiling structure throughout.
