Geocache Description:


Arthur B. Heurtley House (east side of the street)

The Arthur B. Heurtley House is not just one of Wright's most important works in Oak Park, but it's generally recognized as one of the greatest designs in Wright's career. Constructed in 1902, the house is an early example of Wright's flair for Prairie elements, although the house isn't exactly modest with its arched entryway and large massing. The Heurtley House is considered an essential evolution of Wright's Prairie School brand.

Nathan G. Moore House (corner of Forest/Superior)

The Nathan Moore House is a little bit of an oddball in terms of Frank Lloyd Wright houses. It was originally designed and built in 1895 in the Tudor Revival style, at the request of the homeowner. Never a personal favorite of Wright's, a fire in the early 1920s allowed the architect to add some Prairie School elements during the home's renovation.

Edward R. Hills House (white across the street)

By 1906, Wright had fully matured as an architect and his brand of Prairie School was well defined. Originally built in 1874, the house was relocated and almost entirely remodeled by Wright in his signature Prairie School style.
