Frank Lloyd Wright, father of the Prairie School of design, was always interested in ways to reduce the cost of construction and make great architecture more affordable. With the “System Built” concept he explored the possibility of creating a kit of parts that could be assembled into a variety of different house plans. Only a few of these houses were built. This house, in Milwaukie, Wisconsin, is an excellent example. Built originally as a duplex it was later remodeled into a single family home. These drawings reflect that remodeling.
The house is a 2-story design, built over a raised basement which contains utilities. The first floor consists of a Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen with a breakfast area. There is also a WC on this level. The second floor contains a bedroom/bath suite, 2 bedrooms, a sleeping porch and a bathroom. This is a very efficient plan, well suited for a narrow lot in a city. The skillful arrangement of windows brings lots of natural light to all the rooms.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUILD:
These plans are not complete architectural drawings as might be required by your local permitting agency and do not contain all the structural, waterproofing and other details and information necessary for construction. But your local builder or architect should be able to adapt these drawings and add to them as necessary. What they do provide is accurate design information about a REAL historic house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.

Orders shipped to addresses outside the USA may be subject to customs duties at their destination. The buyer is responsible for any such duties.
The original drawings from which these dimensionally accurate scans were made are kept at the Historic American Building Survey, in the Library of Congress.
