Hillside Home School I

The Hillside Home School I featured dark stained oak interiors and locally sourced sandstone walls with quarry faced ashlar on its exterior surfaces.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed this structure in 1887 at age 19 for his aunts Jane and Ellen Lloyd Jones to establish their educational institution.

The building demonstrated Wright's early architectural style, combining Queen Anne and Colonial elements learned from his mentor Joseph Lyman Silsbee.

The structure contained dormitories, a library, dining rooms, living spaces, and ventilated bedrooms, serving both day students and boarders until 1915.

Wright later demolished the building in 1950 during modifications to the campus, despite having started renovations to match other Hillside structures.
