Hickox House (1900)

Hickox House

The Warren Hickox House, a testament to Frank Lloyd Wright’s early Prairie style, stands as a captivating example of the architect’s innovative approach to domestic design. Built in 1900, this Kankakee, Illinois residence exemplifies Wright’s exploration of horizontal lines, open floor plans, and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. Notably, the Hickox House shares similarities with two articles Wright published in the Ladies’ Home Journal, showcasing his evolving design philosophy.

Unlike its neighboring, more famous counterpart, the Bradley House, the Hickox House has remained a private residence since its construction. While not open to the public, the Hickox House continues to intrigue architecture enthusiasts and serves as a reminder of the profound impact Frank Lloyd Wright had on residential architecture.

Location

The Hickox House is located at 687 South Harrison Avenue in Kankakee, Illinois. The home is privately owned and not open to the public, but the Bradley House (next door) is open for tours.

About Me

FLW Enthusiast & Webmaster

Architecture and home design have always fascinated me. As a young girl I enjoyed drawing floor plans, rearranging my parent’s furniture and playing with Lincoln Logs and Legos.  My passion has always been the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Since I have been old enough to drive a car, I have visited Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the Chicagoland area and attended the Wright Plus house walks. Now, as co-owners of Northern Sky Designs, my husband & I are able to combine our website design skills and FLW travels to bring you this website! Enjoy!
