Sherman M. Booth Residence Scheme I,
Glencoe, Illinois, Perspective 1911 (1911 - FLLW#1118).
Description: Perspective
No. 1. View of the Booth Residence, Scheme I, from across the
ravine. Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation #1118.01. Designed in
1911, this was Frank Lloyd Wright’s first design for Sherman
Booth. Scheme I was a magnificent estate on fifteen acres. It
has been compared to the Coonley and Martin Residences, and the
unrealized McCormick residence. Wright excelled when the
topography was challenging, and he took full advantage of it’s
unique characteristics. “Although the most striking feature of
the design is undoubtedly the treatment of the ravine, Wright
has treated the access and approach to it in much the same
manner as he did the waterfall at Fallingwater. It is done with
intricate subtlety. Crossing the bridge, one gets only a glimpse
of the glen, but once inside the house the beauty of the ravine
and its natural landscape is revealed as part of the interior of
the house itself. The entrance to the house is likewise treated
as a series of approaches, not as a sudden confrontation.”
Treasures of
Taliesin, Pfeiffer, 1985, p.18-19. The design remained a
project, and as Pfeiffer puts it, “for reasons that are lost in
time.” Courtesy of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

Sherman M. Booth Residence Scheme I,
Glencoe, Illinois, Planting Plan 1912 (1911 - FLLW #1118).
Description:
Landscaping plans for the grounds of the Booth Residence, Scheme
I, designed by Jens Jensen. Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
#1118.14. Designed in 1911, Scheme I was Frank Lloyd Wright’s
first design for Sherman Booth. Frank Lloyd Wrtight called on
Jen Jensen to design the landscaping plans for the Booth Estate.
The design was quite extensive. One of the main elements was the
garden. It was divided into three sections, two for vegitables
and one for floweres. A grape arbor ran the full length of the
gardens, and the were bordered in hedges. To the West of the
entrance to the garden was the Stable and Garage (Gardener’s
Cottage). Further west was a tennis court, and to the South end
of the garedns was a natural;ly formed swimming pool. To the
North of the Gardens was the residence.
Besides the bridge across the ravine, there appears to be an
elaborate entrance to the property. The entrance appears to
include architectural designed elements, much like Wright’s
plans for the Gateway to the Glencoe Park (FLLW #1120.04). An
interesting side note. The plans include the Stable and Garage,
which the Foundation dates 1912, but does not include the Booth
Summer Cottage which originally was dated 1911. The placement
for the cottage was just to the North of the entrance, in the
path of the driveway. This would lead one to believe a more
realistic time frame for the cottage was 1913. This date was
verified by The Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy.
As Wright was designing the plans for Scheme I, Jenson worked on
the landscape plans for the estate. It is interesting to note
that in the 1915 Chicago Blue Book, which summarizes 1914, Booth
was a member of The Friends of Our Native Landscape. The
President, Jens Jensen. The Secretary, Sherman M. Booth. To
become Secretary he most likely was involved for a few years
prior. One can only speculate about Booth’s enthusiasm for the
house designed by Wright and the grounds designed by Jensen. The
design remained a project, and as Pfeiffer puts it, “for reasons
that are lost in time.”

building set at right angles to each other, but not touching.
The smaller of the two buildings was the stable with stalls for
one cow, two horses, and a carriage room. The garage was
actually a small, 730 square foot house with two large garage
bays. The garage bays opened on both sides so you could drive in
and drive out. It was finished in a light stucco finish with
wood trim and a red tile roof. The plans in the Frank Lloyd
Wright archives are dated February 7, 1912. It was completed in
1912. In 1979, Booth’s son, Sherman M. Booth III, recalled, “My
father had started out trying his hand as a "gentleman farmer"
farming this area (later he subdivided the "farm" with several
other Wright houses - Sylvan Rd. and Meadow Rd.). The “Garage”
came to be refer to as the Gardener’s Cottage. The stable and
garage literally became the foundation of the house that was
built. Text top right: “(Sheet) 2. 1912 - 2 - 7.” Center text:

Title:
Ravine Bluffs Development,
Glencoe, Illinois, Ravine Bluffs Subdivision, 1914 (FLLW #1516.15).
Description:
Ravine Bluffs
Subdivision was divided into 25 lots (1-17, 21-23, 2A-3A,
5A-7A). It is bordered by the golf course on the North, Franklin
Road on the East, and the Milwaukee and Northwestern tracks on
the Southwest.
In 1911, Frank Lloyd Wright designed an estate for Sherman Booth, Scheme I.
Lot 4 shows the placement of Scheme I. At that time, Booth was not planning
to subdivide the property, and in 1912, Wright had Jens Jensen created a
Planting Plan for the entire property. In 1912, Wright also designed Booth’s
Stable and Garage, completed that year. Lot 3 shows the placement of Booth’s
Stable and Garage. In 1913, Wright designed a Summer Cottage for Sherman
Booth. It was a temporary cottage, completed in 1913, and located in the
vacinity of Lot 1 & 2. After Wright’s second design for Booth was built, the
cottage was sold in 1916 and moved to the Franklin Street location where is
stood until it was moved again by the Glencoe Historical Society in July
2020. It now sits in the Park to the left of where Franklin Road and Maple
Hill road meet.
A reason was never
given as to why Scheme I was put to rest. In 1914 the decision was made to
subdivide the property into lots. Wright also began designing plans for
Scheme II early in 1915. Wright incorporated the Stable and Garage
(Gardener’s Cottage) and designed the new house around the
original two building on Lot 5.
Text top left: “Ravine Bluffs, Glencoe Illinois. Houses By Frank
Lloyd Wright. Landscaping By Jens Jensen. 4 Ravines. 2000 Feet
Of Ravine Bluffs. 1000 Feet Fronting Golf Links. Sherman M.
Booth, Owner. Borland Building, Chicago.”
Text lower right:” It Is Planned To Erect A House Designed By
Frank Lloyd Wright On Every Lot. Every Structure Will Be Located
With Regard To Its Effect On Continuous Property And With The
Strictest Regard For Its Effect On The Whole Subdivision. And No
House, Structure Or Fence, Whatsoever Can Be Erected Until
Approved By Mr. Wright Or The Owner Strict Building Restrictions
Will Run With The Land to Protect All Owners.”
Although plans indicated that Wright would design a house for each
lot, only six Wright houses were built. Sherman Booth’s House,
Lot 5; Perry, Lot 10; Root, Lot 22; Kier, Lot 15; Ross, Lot 16;
Kissam, Lot 17. Plans for additional Wright designed houses are
in the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives, Avery Library. Courtesy of

the Stable and Garage (Gardener’s Cottage) and designed the new
house around the original two building. Written on the initial
plans were “Alterations of Gardener’s Cottage” and “Alterations
of and Additions to Gardener’s Cottage.” On this Ground Plan,
FLLW#1502.02, the original two buildings are indicated in “red”
lines.
The scaled down
Scheme II is not as elaborate as the first. The first floor
included the entrance hall, and three wings. The dining and
bedroom wings utilized the footprint of the original stable and
gardenmer’s cottage. The dining room wing included the kitchen
pantry and maid’s bedroom and bath. The living room wing
included a large living room with a large fireplace and living
porch. The bebroom living included three be droms, one being the
master with a fireplace, and a bath. Lower right text: “Ground

cases and cabinetry, furniture, plant stands, waste paper
basket, phonograph stand, desks, chairs, beds, screens, tables
and writing table. Exterior details included the flagstaff and
concrete vase. The angles and pitch of the first floor roofs and
cornice from the stable and gardeners cottage were used and
matched in scheme II. Text: “East Elevation. West Elevation.”

In
1915, Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Sherman Booth Residence,
Scheme II, which included these floor lamps, adapted from a
design for the Japanese Print Stands which Wright designed in
1908.
An example is
published in The Arts and Crafts Movement in America 1876-1916,
Clark, 1972, p.72. The caption reads: “Sherman M. Booth was
Wright's lawyer and close friend. Wright designed a house and
furniture for him in 1911 (Scheme I). The house was not built until
1915-16 (Scheme II), and was done without Wright's supervision. Execution of
this and at least five other lamps date from the late building
period.”
In 1993,
Thomas A. Heinz published
Frank Lloyd Wright Furniture. Page 39
included a Sherman M. Booth Floor Lamp. Heinz wrote: “Most of
Wright's lighting was built-in or attached to his buildings.
There are only three designs for free-standing floor lighting.
This design, the best of the three, is based on his
Japanese-print frames designed for the exhibition at the Art
Institute of Chicago in 1908. There are many parallel examples
in Japanese design. These were designed at the time Wright was
working on the Imperial Hotel for Tokyo.” This photograph was
also published in Frank Lloyd Wright: Interiors and Furniture,
Heinz, 1994, p. 157. Caption: "Derived from the
Japanese print
stand used in the exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago."
A single Booth Floor
Lamp was auctioned at Christie’s, June 11, 1999. Description:

Title:
Sherman Booth Floor Clock Adapted From the
Booth Floor Lamp 2003 (1915 - S.187).
Description: In
1908, Frank Lloyd Wright exhibited over two hundred Japanese prints
in an extensive exhibition of Japanese Colour Prints from March
5-25, 1908 at The Art Institute of Chicago, titled "A Loan
Exhibition of Japanese Colour Prints".
Wright designed the exhibition installation for the Art Institute.
Included with the designs for the exhibition was a Japanese Print
Easel or Stand. The Wright designed
Print Stand consisted of a tall
vertical frame that intersected the base, and floated above the
surface it was placed on. The low base was designed to hold a small
vase for flower arrangements or other decorative items. The overall
design was very consistent with Wright's prairie style. Photographs
of Taliesin from 1911 and a show at The Art Institute of Chicago
from 1911 show a much taller floor model of the print stand. In
1915, Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Sherman Booth Residence and
adapted the print stand design as a floor lamp. In 2003, The Frank
Lloyd Wright Foundation adapted the design again, creating the
Sherman Booth Floor Clock. The clock is Bulova Quartz. Constructed
of solid alder and veneer. Original list price $275.00.

1A) Sherman M. Booth Residence
Scheme I, Glencoe, Illinois, Perspective 1911 (1911 -
FLLW#1118). Perspective No. 1. View of the Booth Residence,
Scheme I, from across the ravine. Frank Lloyd Wright
Foundation #1118.01. Designed in 1911, this was Frank Lloyd
Wright’s first design for Sherman Booth. Scheme I was a
magnificent estate on fifteen acres. It has been compared to
the Coonley and Martin Residences, and the unrealized
McCormick residence. Wright excelled when the topography was
challenging, and he took full advantage of it’s unique
characteristics. “Although the most striking feature of the
design is undoubtedly the treatment of the ravine, Wright
has treated the access and approach to it in much the same
manner as he did the waterfall at Fallingwater. It is done
with intricate subtlety. Crossing the bridge, one gets only
a glimpse of the glen, but once inside the house the beauty
of the ravine and its natural landscape is revealed as part
of the interior of the house itself. The entrance to the
house is likewise treated as a series of approaches, not as
a sudden confrontation.”

remained a project, and as Pfeiffer puts it, “for reasons

PLANTING & GROUND PLAN |
| |
 |
3A) Sherman M. Booth Residence
Scheme I, Glencoe, Illinois, Planting Plan 1912 (1911 - FLLW
#1118). Landscaping plans for the grounds of the Booth
Residence, Scheme I, designed by Jens Jensen. Frank Lloyd
Wright Foundation #1118.14. Designed in 1911, Scheme I was
Frank Lloyd Wright’s first design for Sherman Booth. Frank
Lloyd Wrtight called on Jen Jensen to design the landscaping
plans for the Booth Estate. The design was quite extensive.
One of the main elements was the garden. It was divided into
three sections, two for vegitables and one for floweres. A
grape arbor ran the full length of the gardens, and the were
bordered in hedges. To the West of the entrance to the
garden was the Stable and Garage (Gardener’s Cottage).
Further west was a tennis court, and to the South end of the
garedns was a natural;ly formed swimming pool. To the North
of the Gardens was the residence.
Besides the
bridge across the ravine, there appears to be an elaborate
entrance to the property. The entrance appears to include
architectural designed elements, much like Wright’s plans
for the Gateway to the Glencoe Park (FLLW #1120.04). An
interesting side note. The plans include the Stable and
Garage, which the Foundation dates 1912, but does not
include the Booth Summer Cottage which originally was dated 1911. The placement
for the cottage was just to the North of the entrance, in the
path of the driveway. This would lead one to believe a more
realistic time frame for the cottage was 1913. This date was
verified by The Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy.
As Wright
was designing the plans for Scheme I, Jenson worked on the
landscape plans for the estate. It is interesting to note
that in the 1915 Chicago Blue Book, which summarizes 1914,
Booth was a member of The Friends of Our Native Landscape.
The President, Jens Jensen. The Secretary, Sherman M. Booth.
To become Secretary he most likely was involved for a few
years prior. One can only speculate about Booth’s enthusiasm
for the house designed by Wright and the grounds designed by
Jensen. The design remained a project, and as Pfeiffer puts
it, “for reasons that are lost in time.”

and Garage. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1912. Frank
Lloyd Wright Foundation #1211.03. The garage and stables
were actually two separate building set at right angles to
each other, but not touching. The smaller of the two
buildings was the stable with stalls for one cow, two
horses, and a carriage room. The garage was actually a
small, 730 square foot house with two large garage bays. The
garage bays opened on both sides so you could drive in and
drive out. It was finished in a light stucco finish with
wood trim and a red tile roof. The plans in the Frank Lloyd
Wright archives are dated February 7, 1912. It was completed
in 1912. In 1979, Booth’s son, Sherman M. Booth III,
recalled, “My father had started out trying his hand as a
"gentleman farmer" farming this area (later he subdivided
the "farm" with several other Wright houses - Sylvan Rd. and
Meadow Rd.). The “Garage” came to be refer to as the
Gardener’s Cottage. The stable and garage literally became

1) Sherman Booth Residence Scheme
II, Glencoe, Illinois Ground Plan, Sheet 2, 1915 (1915 - S.187) (1915 - FLLW #1502).
Ground plan for the Sherman Booth Residence, Scheme II.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915. Understanding the
Sherman M. Booth Stable and Garage is essential in the
development of Scheme II. It literally became the foundation
of the house that was built. The garage and stables were
actually two separate building set at right angles to each
other, but not touching. The smaller of the two buildings
was the stable. The garage was actually a small, 730 square
foot house with two large garage bays.
By the end 1914
the decision was made, and Wright began designing plans for
Scheme II early in 1915. Wright incorporated the Stable and
Garage (Gardener’s Cottage) and designed the new house
around the original two building. Written on the initial
plans were “Alterations of Gardener’s Cottage” and
“Alterations of and Additions to Gardener’s Cottage.” On
this Ground Plan, FLLW#1502.02, the original two buildings
are indicated in “red” lines.
The scaled down Scheme II is not as elaborate as the first.
The first floor included the entrance hall, and three wings.
The dining and bedroom wings utilized the footprint of the
original stable and gardenmer’s cottage. The dining room
wing included the kitchen pantry and maid’s bedroom and
bath. The living room wing included a large living room with
a large fireplace and living porch. The bebroom living
included three be droms, one being the master with a
fireplace, and a bath. Lower right text: “Ground Plan.” (S#0128.75.0524) |

actually a small, 730 square foot house with two large
garage bays.
The
scaled down Scheme II is not as elaborate as the first.
Although the bridge, gardener’s cottage and extensive
gardens were deleted, it was still a beautiful example of
Wright’s work. The first floor included the entrance hall,
and three wings. The dining and bedroom wings utilized the
footprint of the original stable and gardenmer’s cottage.
The dining room wing included the kitchen pantry and maid’s
bedroom and bath. The living room wing included a large
living room with a large fireplace and living porch. The
bedroom wing included three bedrooms, one being the master
with a fireplace, and a bath. The second floor included
three bedrooms, one large and two smaller, and one bath. The
stairway which led the third floor included a room with a
covered and screened sleeping porch, a roof garden and half
bath.
Wright also
designed interior furnishing, light fixtures and lamps, book
cases and cabinetry, furniture, plant stands, waste paper
basket, phonograph stand, desks, chairs, beds, screens,
tables and writing table. Exterior details included the
flagstaff and concrete vase. The angles and pitch of the

SHERMAN BOOTH FLOOR
LAMP (1915) |

1) Sherman
M. Booth Residence, Glenco, Illinois, Two Floor Lamps, 1915
(1915 - S.187).
Two original
floor lamps designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Sherman
Booth, Wright’s attorney and close friend. In 1915, Frank
Lloyd Wright designed the Sherman Booth Residence, Scheme
II, which included these floor lamps, adapted from a design
for the Japanese Print Stands which Wright designed in 1908.
In 1993, Thomas A. Heinz published Frank Lloyd Wright
Furniture. Page 39 included a Sherman M. Booth Floor Lamp.
Heinz wrote: “Most of Wright's lighting was built-in or
attached to his buildings. There are only three designs for
free-standing floor lighting. This design, the best of the
three, is based on his Japanese-print frames designed for
the exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1908.
There are many parallel examples in Japanese design. These
were designed at the time Wright was working on the Imperial
Hotel for Tokyo.” This photograph was also published in
Frank Lloyd Wright: Interiors and Furniture, Heinz, 1994, p.
157. Caption: "Derived from the Japanese print stand used in
the exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago." (S#0128.73.0224,

Southeast. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915. By the
end 1914 the decision was made not to proceed with Scheme I.
Wright began designing plans for Scheme II early in 1915.
Wright incorporated the Stable and Garage (Gardener’s
Cottage) and designed the new house around the original two
building. The scaled down Scheme II is not as elaborate as
the first. The first floor included the entrance hall, and
three wings. The dining and bedroom wings utilized the
footprint of the original stable and gardeners cottage. The
dining room wing included the kitchen pantry and maid’s
bedroom and bath. The living room wing included a large
living room with a large fireplace and living porch. The
bedroom wing included three bedrooms, one being the master
with a fireplace, and a bath. The second floor included
three bedrooms, one large and two smaller, and one bath. The
stairway which led the third floor included a room with a
covered and screened sleeping porch, a roof garden and half
bath.
The tall
vertical roof ventilator, designed and most likely built for the stable, is
visible to the far left. It still exists today. The flagstaff base on the
roof above the stairwell is in place but the pole may be missing. Text lower

Sherman M. Booth Residence, Scheme II,
Glencoe, Illinois, Exterior and Interior 2019 (1915 -
S.187). Set of 73 exterior and 18 interior photographs of
the Booth Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915,
for Sherman Booth, Wright’s attorney and close friend.
Sherman (1876 - 1957) and Elizabeth (1880–1960) Booth were
married in 1907. As a side note: Sherman Booth’s sister was
Blanche Angster. In 1911, Wright designed the
Angster
Residence, which burned and was demolished in 1956.

The Booth Residence Scheme I. To understand
the Booth Residence, we need to start with Frank Lloyd
Wright’s first design for Sherman Booth. Scheme I was a
magnificent estate on fifteen acres. It has been compared to
the Coonley and Martin Residences, and the unrealized
McCormick residence. Wright excelled when the topography was
challenging, and he took full advantage of it’s unique
characteristics. “Although the most striking feature of the
design is undoubtedly the treatment of the ravine, Wright
has treated the access and approach to it in much the same
manner as he did the waterfall at Fallingwater. It is done
with intricate subtlety. Crossing the bridge, one gets only
a glimpse of the glen, but once inside the house the beauty
of the ravine and its natural landscape is revealed as part
of the interior of the house itself. The entrance to the
house is likewise treated as a series of approaches, not as
a sudden confrontation.” Treasures of Taliesin, Pfeiffer,
1985, p.18-19. The design remained a project, and as
Pfeiffer puts it, “for reasons that are lost in time.”
Besides the bridge across the ravine, there appears to be an
elaborate entrance to the property. In the Frank Lloyd
Wright Archives is a Planting Plan for the Grounds of Mr.
Sherman M Booth (FLLW #1118.14). Not only does it layout the
landscaping plans, but the placement of the Residence,
extensive vengitable and flower gardens, Garage and Stable,
Tennis Courts, and the entrance to the property. The
entrance appears to include architectural designed elements,
much like Wright’s plans for the Gateway to the Glencoe Park
(FLLW #1120.04).
The
design remained a project, and as Pfeiffer put it, “for
reasons that are lost in time.”
Although Booth did not proceed with Scheme I, He did proceed
with many other projects including the Sherman M. Booth
Stable and Garage (1912 - FLLW#1211, the Booth Summer
Cottage (1913 - S.178),and the Sherman Bpooth Residence Scheme II
((1915 - S.187).
The Stable and Garage. Understanding the
Sherman M. Booth Stable and Garage is essential in the
development of Scheme II. It literally became the foundation
of the house that was built. The garage and stables were
actually two separate building set at right angles to each
other, but not touching. The smaller of the two buildings
was the stable with stalls for one cow, two horses, and a
carriage room. The garage was actually a small, 730 square
foot house with two large garage bays. The garage bays
opened on both sides so you could drive in and drive out. It
was finished in a light stucco finish with wood trim and a
red tile roof. The plans in the Frank Lloyd Wright archives
are dated February 7, 1912. It was completed in 1912. In
1979, Booth’s son, Sherman M. Booth III, recalled, “My
father had started out trying his hand as a "gentleman
farmer" farming this area (later he subdivided the "farm"
with several other Wright houses - Sylvan Rd. and Meadow
Rd.).
The “Garage,”
the small two-bedroom house, came to be refer to as the
Gardener’s Cottage. It begs the question, Why the Gardener’s
Cottage in 1912, before the house was built? The answer
might be found with landscape architect Jens Jensen. As
Wright was designing the plans for Scheme I, Jenson worked
on the landscape plans for the estate. It is interesting to
note that in the 1915 Chicago Blue Book, which summarizes
1914, Booth was a member of The Friends of Our Native
Landscape. The President, Jens Jensen. The Secretary,
Sherman M. Booth. To become Secretary he most likely was
involved for a few years prior. One can only speculate about
Booth’s enthusiasm for the house designed by Wright and the
grounds designed by Jensen. He builds a small house and
hires a gardener to begin preparing the land.
The Booth Summer Cottage. A question that
begs to be asked is where did the Booths live? The Summer
Cottage?
Sherman
Booth was not listed in the Chicago Blue Book from
1908-1911. In the 1912 edition, Sherman Booth was listed as
a member of the Skokie Country Club in Glencoe. In 1913 he
was listed as a member of the City Club of Chicago. In 1914
he was listed as living in Glencoe, both in the alphabetical
listing and under the city listing. In 1915, he was listed
again as living in Glencoe, alphabetical and under the city
listing, and listed as a member of The Friends of Our Native
Landscape: Pres., Jens Jensen... Sec., Sherman M. Booth, 1806, 105 S
LaSalle, Chicago, and a member of the City Club
of Chicago.

The April 16, 1914 National Corporation Reported indicated
that “Sherman M Booth... in Glencoe where he resides...”
This would indicate that by 1914 he lived and socialized in
Glencoe. But did he live in one of the two houses on the
property. It was a “Summer Cottage” which would indicate,
like many of the summer cottages Wright designed, were not
heated. In the cases of the Gale Summer Cottages, they were
not even insulated, and the interior walls were bare studs.
In the case of the Stephen Foster Cottage, it was built in a
neighborhood called West Pullman. It is hard to imagine
today, a "Summer Cottage" being built just 16 miles South of
Chicago's loop. It may have been inconvenient to live year
round in West Pullman, so they maintained an apartment in
Hyde Park during the fall and winter, and their Summer
Cottage during the summers.
We were not able to locate a specific address for the Booths
from 1911-1913, but the answer can be found in the Glencoe
Historical Society. “In a handwritten letter dated December,
1979, preserved in the Glencoe Historical Society, Booth's
son, Sherman M. Booth III, described the home at 265 Sylvan
Road, in Glencoe built by Frank Lloyd Wright for his family.
He notes that while it was under construction the family
lived in a Wright-designed bungalow... across the ravine to
the east, later sold and relocated. "There was a swinging
footbridge (like a suspension bridge) across this fairly
deep ravine to the "farming" area west of this ravine... I
remember a summer evening party between the gardener's
cottage and the north ravine with Japanese lanterns and
movies on an outdoor screen..." Ravine Bluffs Development
Bridge, HAER No. IL-14, 1993.
According to the Glencoe Historical Society, the original
veranda, now on the north end of the house, was open to the
air. The Booth’s second son, Sherman Booth III, remembered
sleeping on the porch as a young boy “winter as well as
summer, snow or no snow.” He wrote, “my father was a fresh
air fiend. I’m sure we had the first electric blankets but
with no automatic adjustment. Consequently, once in a while
when we went to sleep without turning the electric switch
off, the blanket would get heated to flash point. Naturally,
we woke up dripping with sweat and once or twice we had to
throw a bucket of water on incipient flames. After that, we
lived with some charred blankets.”
Dating the Booth Cottage. According to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
Archives in the Avery Library, the Booth
Summer Cottage was designed in 1911. A more realistic time
frame for the design of the cottage is 1913, which has been
verified by the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy. According to the
Glencoe Historical Society, the building permit for the
Booth Cottage was issued on February 10, 1913 and was
completed later that year. They lived there until Scheme 2
was completed. The 882 square foot home included a living
room and kitchen, maid’s room for their nanny, a nursery for
their children, a dressing room, one bathroom and an
enclosed veranda.
Wright’s second design was built,
the house was sold in 1916 and moved to the Franklin Street
location where is stood until it was moved again by the
Glencoe Historical Society in July 2020.
The Booth Residence Scheme II. A reason was
never given as to why Scheme I was put to rest. To elaborate and
costly? A change in Booth’s financial situation? By the end
1914 the decision was made, and Wright began designing plans
for Scheme II early in 1915. Wright incorporated the Stable
and Garage (Gardener’s Cottage) and designed the new house
around the original two building. Written on the initial
plans were “Alterations of Gardener’s Cottage” and
“Alterations of and Additions to Gardener’s Cottage.” On the
Ground Plan, FLLW#1502.02, the original two buildings are
indicated in “red” lines.
The scaled down Scheme II is not as elaborate as the first.
Although the bridge, gardener’s cottage and extensive
gardens were deleted, it was still a beautiful example of
Wright’s work. The first floor included the entrance hall,
and three wings. The dining and bedroom wings utilized the
footprint of the original stable and gardener’s cottage. The
dining room wing included the kitchen pantry and maid’s
bedroom and bath. The dining room windows are the only art
glass windows in the house with metal cames and red glass. The living room wing included a large
living room with a large fireplace and living porch. The
bedroom living included three bedrooms, one being the master
with a fireplace, and a bath. The second floor included
three bedrooms, one large and two smaller, and one bath. The
stairway which led the third floor included a room with a
covered and screened sleeping porch, a roof garden and half
bath.
Wright also
designed interior furnishing, light fixtures and lamps, book
cases and cabinetry, furniture, plant stands, waste paper
basket, phonograph stand, desks, chairs, beds, screens,
tables and writing table. Exterior details included the
flagstaff and concrete vase. The angles and pitch of the
first floor roofs and cornice from the stable and gardeners
cottage were used and matched in scheme II.

we have dispensed with a description for each photograph.
