Built just a few years after Wright started his own practice, the George Smith House on Home Avenue in Oak Park was built for the Marshall Fields' salesman with whom Wright went to church.
"It's an early Wright. It's done in his shingle style which he was starting off doing in his early career," said Barbara Gordon, Executive Director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. "It has these very traditional forms that you might see in the tradition of the Victorian style, but his ideas of geometry are really starting to come through in his designs.
"You are getting a home that has so much potential," said Gordon. "You can bring out its original features but yet, make it your own.""I think it would be phenomenal," said listing agent Catherine Cannon. "It would be a showstopper and it would be something that would be like: 'stop and stare!'" Because it's a prime example of Wright's early work, the exterior of the home is protected from demo.All the news you need to know, every day
