American System-Built Homes, Historic district in Milwaukee, United States.
The Burnham Block features six Prairie Style houses with flat roofs, wide overhanging eaves, and strong rectilinear massing along West Burnham Street.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed these American System-Built Homes between 1911 and 1914, with construction completed from November 1915 to July 1916.
The residential complex represents an architectural solution to middle-class housing needs through standardized construction methods and economical building practices.
The Model B1 at 2714 West Burnham Street functions as a museum with guided tours available by advance reservation through WrightinMilwaukee.org.
The buildings incorporate a systematic construction process where materials were pre-cut at a factory and assembled on site, reducing waste and labor costs.
