The glorious, sun-filled home
was designed by architects Kenneth MacDonald, Jr. and George Applegarth
in 1911 in the ‘Prairie School’ style created by Frank
Lloyd Wright who emphasized horizontal planes and openness in his
designs.
Natural light filters through the dramatic, soaring atrium which
provides a sense of space beyond. The four floors of living space
are accessed by split-level landings for effortless ascent and descent.
The floor plan is extremely flexible to suit a family’s changing
needs, and is ideal for gracious entertaining, indoors and out.
The rich details of the original architecture include white oak
beams & crown molding, beautiful hardwood floors, gracious arches
and wide doorways. The expansive picture windows and multitude of
French paned windows in many rooms marry interior spaces to the
out of doors.
