Edward R. Hills House, Prairie School residence in Oak Park, United States
The Edward R. Hills House at 313 Forest Avenue features stucco walls divided by dark brown boards and horizontal window bands across its exterior.
Frank Lloyd Wright transformed an 1874 structure into this residence in 1906, rotating it ninety degrees and incorporating Prairie School design elements.
The residence demonstrates the transition between Wright's 1890s experimental phase and his mature Prairie School architectural characteristics through its design elements.
The house underwent extensive reconstruction in 1977 following a fire in 1976, with careful attention to preserve original architectural features.
The building combines double-slope high-pitched roofs from Wright's early period with projecting soffits and horizontal bands typical of his later work.
