Laura Gale House
The house was occupied by its original owner until 1962 when architect Howard Rosenwinkel purchased it and undertook a meticulous restoration.The house was designed by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in his own Prairie style.Through his use of abstract geometrical shapes in the detail and mass of the house Wright may have anticipated and inspired the modern European architects of the 1920s.The house is considered one of Wright's most unusual designs from his years in Oak Park, Illinois.[4] The extreme rectilinear shapes and masses on the home's exterior are represented in none of Wright's other works either before or after the completion of the Gale House.
