Excerpt: "The Tomek House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1904 and supervised by Barry Byrne in 1905-1906, is located on the corner of Nuttall and Bartram Roads in Riverside, Illinois. Although Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted designed the suburb in 1869, it resembles the suburban ideal Wright envisioned. This romantic village, with plentiful parkland, depressed streets, and acceptance of the nuclear family as the norm, works well with Wright's concepts of j flowing interior and exterior spaces and an idealization of the family. As the nearby Coonley House affirms, Riverside was a perfect landscape, and the site, directly east of Olmsted's Long Common, was a model site, for Frank Lloyd Wright to design a prairie house."(Submitted on April 24, 2024, by Sean Flynn of Oak Park, Illinois.)
