George Furbeck House, Wright-designed residential house in Oak Park, United States.
The George Furbeck House features two octagonal towers, geometric art glass windows, and a continuous stone sill course beneath the casement windows.
The house was constructed in 1897 for electrical contractor George Furbeck and his wife Sue Allin Harrington following their marriage that same year.
The residence represents a transition period between Queen Anne style architecture and the Prairie School movement that emerged in the American Midwest.
The interior maintains its original design elements, including an open floor plan and large windows that allow natural light throughout the living spaces.
The house incorporates two distinct architectural approaches through its combination of Victorian-era octagonal towers and horizontal Prairie School elements.
