Built four years after the suburb of Austin was annexed to Chicago, the Joseph Jacob Walser House is among the best of Frank Lloyd Wright's experiments with inexpensive residences. On a narrow lot, it incorporates the features of his mature Prairie style, including a horizontal emphasis created by deep roof eaves and bands of windows, a straightforward use of simple materials, and a spacious but efficient open interior plan. It was designated a Chicago Landmark on March 30, 1984 by the City Council of Chicago.
