Forest House (Charles Ross House)
Around the turn of the 20th century, wealthy families from Chicago flocked to scenic destinations in Wisconsin for summer vacation.Wright designed a handful of lakeside cottages during this time, the Charles Ross summerhouse among them.The house retains many of the characteristics that are shared by other of Wright's nearby cottages, including board and batten siding, hipped roofs, and ribbon windows situated just below widely projecting soffits.The dining and living rooms, for instance, penetrate one another on an angle, creating a dynamic relationship and oblique views that anticipate the complex spatial arrangements found in Wright's Ward Willits house and other of his more advanced prairie-style designs.The house is occasionally open to the public as part of the Wright in Wisconsin[1] program of guided educational tours.
