I have a love of all architecture but especially art deco and mid-century modern.

Nathan G. Moore Residence - Oak Park, Illinois
333 Forest Avenue - Originally built in 1895 in the Tudor style and then rebuilt in 1923 after fire damaged the home with some restyling to make it more Wright-ish (Wait, is that a word? It is now!).
This is kinda awesome. It looks like a strangely top-heavy fairytale cottage. The pre-modern FLW designs you have posted are bizarre - not yet fully exemplary of what we usually think about in his architecture, while failing to conform to the standards of whichever style he was working in at the time.
