Allen–Lambe House

Built in Wichita, Kansas, in 1915 for former Kansas governor Henry Justin Allen and his wife, Elsie, the Allen–Lambe House is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s last Prairie houses and a mature expression of his ideas about landscape, geometry, and domestic space. Its long, low design combines Prairie School horizontality with Japanese-influenced details from the period of Wright’s work on the Imperial Hotel. Inside and out, carefully coordinated materials, a sunken garden, and a terrace that visually links house and landscape create a strong indoor-outdoor unity. The residence also stood out for advanced features and later gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places.
