In 1895, Nathan G. Moore, a prominent Chicago attorney and Oak Park neighbor of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, came into Wright’s Schiller Building office and asked him to design a house. He had one important stipulation: “Now we want you to build our house, but I don’t want you to give us anything like that house you did for Winslow.
I don’t want to go down the backstreets to my morning train to avoid being laughed at. ” To understand the sensation made by that one home, tucked quietly away in a sedate, wooded suburb, we must consider the architecture in the United States at that time; and in particular, the architecture of Chicago and its environs.
The architecture of the United States at the turn of the century -1895 to 1905 – was, at best, a collection of eclectic styles, with hardly one relating in any way or sense to the ideal of the nation in which it was built. This was an era which regarded architecture as an application of fashions and styles, unrelated to structure or construction techniques.
