Winslow House (River Forest, Illinois)
A landmark building in Wright's career, the Winslow House, built in 1894–95, was his first major commission as an independent architect.The original owner, William Winslow, was exemplary of Wright's Chicago clients, which the architect described as, "American men of business with unspoiled instincts and ideals."A manufacturer of decorative ironwork, Winslow later worked with Wright on a number of publishing projects, specifically for Keats's The Eve of St. Agnes (1896), and William C. Gannett's The House Beautiful (1896–97).He was in the ornamental iron business and his firm had done the facade on the Carson Pirie Scott building for Wright's previous employer.The interior echoes both Wright's own home and the Charnley House, with the fireplace at the center facing the entry with rooms on either side and a hidden main staircase.
