This house at 10541 S. Hoyne Avenue on the South Side is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's American System-Built Houses, built in 1917. The project was Wright's attempt at prefabricated housing, marking an early instance of an architect designing a system for mass-produced homes rather than a single custom building.
the style
Prairie School (c. 1900–1920): Long horizontal lines: broad low roofs, deep overhangs, and continuous bands of windows hugging the ground.
