Gilmore House

Called the "Airplane House," this residence illustrates the essence of the Prairie School style of architecture. A strong feeling of horizontality is created by sweeping eaves, banded leaded casement windows, horizontal wood trim, and site placement. Wright, the most outspoken of the Prairie architects, designed the house for attorney Eugene A. Gilmore at a time when prevailing architectural forms were derived from historical styles.
