The
Ward W. Willits House is a building designed
by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed
in 1901 the Willits house is considered the
first of the great Prairie houses. Built in
the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, Illinois,
the house presents a symmetrical facade to the
street, the plan is a cruciform with four wings
that extend out from a central hearth. In addition
to art glass windows and wooden screens that
divide rooms, Wright also designed most of the
furniture in the house.
