William R. Heath House, Prairie School residence in Soldiers Place, Buffalo, United States.
The William R. Heath House features dark red brick construction, low-pitched hip roofs with projecting eaves, and a large porch supported by square columns.
Frank Lloyd Wright constructed this residence between 1904 and 1905 for William Heath, a lawyer who served as vice president of the Larkin Soap Company.
The residence incorporates seven bedrooms on the second floor, with the dining room connecting to the living room and opening directly onto the front porch.
The house stands elevated on a terrace above street level, maintaining privacy from street views despite its location near the sidewalk.
The mortar treatment between bricks creates distinctive shadow lines, with flush vertical joints and deeply raked horizontal joints emphasizing the lateral design.
