With its horizontal lines and expansive roof this 1902 Frank Lloyd Wright designed house is undeniably prairie style. You will find it at 318 Forest Ave. in Oak Park, Illinois.

The following text is from chicagoarchitecture.info:
With its long, low lines, squat roof, and bunker-like entry, this is undeniably a Frank Lloyd Wright home. Elegance is achieved through simplicity, and the second-story line of art glass windows mirrors the void in the story below. The entry is reminiscent of a railway tunnel, and in this case the house has been perfectly matched with a pair of wide planters flanking the door. The design is both “look at me” and “go away” at the same time.
This is a private residence so please respect the owners and do your viewing from the sidewalk.
