Tucked away in Wilmette, Illinois, lies the Burleigh House, a testament to Frank Lloyd Wright’s innovative vision. Built in 1916, this residence exemplifies the architect’s signature Prairie Style, characterized by horizontal lines, low profiles, and an emphasis on integrating the structure with its natural surroundings.

While not as widely known as some of Wright’s other creations, the Burleigh House stands as a valuable example of the architect’s “American System-Built” bungalows, a series of affordable, standardized house plans he offered during the early 20th century.
Though the enclosed porch deviates from the original design, the house remains a charming example of Wright’s enduring influence on American architecture.
