J. J. Walser, Jr. Residence, Prairie School residence in Austin, Chicago, United States.
The J. J. Walser Jr. Residence features horizontal bands of windows, broad eaves, and natural materials integrating with the surrounding Midwestern landscape.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residential structure in 1903 during his early architectural practice period, when he developed the Prairie School style.
The residence represents the first American architectural movement that broke away from European classical influences, establishing a new national identity.
The building maintains its original architectural elements, including the characteristic flat roof, geometric patterns, and open floor plan layout.
This residence served as an early example of Wright's organic architecture philosophy, where the structure harmonizes with the natural environment.
