Thomas H. Gale House, Single-family residence in Oak Park, United States
The Thomas H. Gale House features Queen Anne style elements with high-pitched roofs, polygonal dormers, and wooden clapboard exterior across its structured facade.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residence in 1892 while employed at Adler & Sullivan, creating it without permission from his employer at a cost of $3,000.
The residence demonstrates the architectural transition between traditional Queen Anne style and the geometric principles that would define Wright's later Prairie School movement.
The central fireplace serves both the parlor and dining room, maximizing the functionality of interior spaces within the compact residential structure.
The house shares design elements with neighboring Wright properties yet maintains distinct characteristics through subtle variations in its architectural composition.
