Eugene A. Gilmore House
Eugene A. Gilmore House, Prairie School residence in Regent neighborhood, Madison, United States.
The Eugene A. Gilmore House features a cross-shaped layout with copper-roofed wings extending from a central pavilion and horizontal wood trim throughout the structure.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this residence in 1908 for law professor Eugene Gilmore, who later became Vice-Governor of the Philippine Islands and president of Iowa State University.
The residence represents a departure from historical architectural styles of the early 1900s, introducing Prairie School principles through its horizontal lines and landscape integration.
The property stands at North Prospect Avenue and Ely Place intersection, with living areas positioned on the second floor to maximize views of Madison's Four Lakes region.
Local residents named it the Airplane House due to its geometric form, making it the sole Wright-designed building constructed in Madison during his Prairie School period.
