An authentic, original Prairie Style home by one of the original Prairie Style architects, Robert C. Spencer.
This home's design is attributed to one of the original "Prairie School" architects, Robert C. Spencer, Jr. His commissions include the interior of the Chicago Public Library and Lake Geneva's Horticultural Hall. Spacious, open, contemporary floorplan...unlike any century-old house you are likely to see! Located on a street of stately homes just a short walk from downtown.
