The ground breaking Glessner House (1885) on Prairie Avenue was one of Henry Hobson Richardson's last projects. It had very few street-facing windows and is built around a central courtyard. The house very much influenced the work of Burnham, Sullivan, Adler, and later, Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Emil Bach House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as a Rogers Park vacation home with a view of Lake Michigan. Rogers Park is now part of Chicago and the city has grown up around the house. The home is Prairie Style, but one of the first to exhibit the later cubist and oriental forms favored by Wright in later designs.
