The Robert Lamp House, an unusual midblock residence, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his boyhood friend "Robie" Lamp, a realtor and insurance salesman. Its simple, boxy shape and open floor plan were very modern for the time. Wright called the design "New American" in style, while the diamond-paned casement windows drew on "Old English" inspiration. The penthouse on the roof is a later addition that replaced an elegant roof garden with grape arbors and a greenhouse.
