Mary W. Adams House, Prairie School house in Highland Park, Illinois.
The Mary W. Adams House features light stucco exterior walls, wooden trim elements, and diagonal corner buttresses that emphasize its extended horizontal roofline.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residence in 1905 for Mary Adams, a 70-year-old teacher who became his oldest client at the time of construction.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this Prairie School residence in 1982, marking its contribution to American architectural development.
Located at coordinates 42°11'13"N and 87°47'20"W, this two-story home contains three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and quarter-sawn white oak flooring throughout.
The house underwent an 18-month restoration project in 2010 following a period of neglect, with new owners using Wright's original plans as reference.
