The Nathan G. Moore House in Oak Park, Illinois, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1895 for attorney Nathan Grier Moore, who wanted an English Tudor house rather than Wright’s more experimental work. Wright produced a Tudor Revival residence but still introduced some of his own ornamental ideas. After an electrical fire on December 23, 1922, destroyed the third floor and badly damaged the rest, Wright redesigned the house while preserving parts of the original structure. The rebuilt version, richer in ornament and more expressive in style, became its defining form. The house remains a private residence and an important example of Wright negotiating and reworking a historically styled commission.
