Prairie Style House
(Frank Lloyd Wright style), 1992
1000 Walton Road

Although built in 1992, this home was inspired by the first of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes to include all of the components of his Prairie-style designs.

Modeled on the 1901 Ward Willits House in Highland park, Illinois, it was modified to incorporate Maharishi Sthapatya Veda principles.

The covered terraces, horizontal bands of windows, horizontal trim, and broad overhanging roof mark the feeling of growing "easily from its site", a Frank Lloyd Wright principle.

Prairie Style homes marked a major change from the then popular Victorian homes.
