California Prairie Style home - 1913
Frank Lloyd Wright, founder of the Prairie Style school worked out of Chicago. But his influence spread across all across the nation, and indeed into Europe as well. This beautiful, single story home expands across its suburban California site, obviously inspired by Wright, but also well adapted to the California climate and light. Father and son team, Frank and Carl Wolfe. Peter Col, the client, made his fortune in the grocery business and clearly knew how to spend his well-gotten gains in a stylish and comfortable manner. The house boasts fine details throughout. In particular it has lovely leaded glass windows and built-in furniture in the Living and Dining rooms.
As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, these plans offer an excellent starting point. Outside dimensions are approximately 50' x 63'.

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 Prairie Style home, not a pseudo-Prairie tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf. (PR011)
