S#: 1147.111.0121Date: 1958 Title: Erdman Prefabricated Home #1 (1956-1961 - 406-411).
Description: Frank Lloyd Wright and Marshall Erdman study model of prefabricated home #1. Erdman's first contact with Wright was as contractor for the Unitarian Meeting House in Madison, designed in 1947. Construction began in 1949 and was completed in 1951. The two first discussed the idea of working together on a prefabricated design in 1954. It wouldn't be until the end of 1955 that Wright would deliver his first design. Erdman convinced Wright to attend the show in January 1958. On January 22 he delivered a lecture on prefabrication and his prefab design in the Crystal Ballroom of Chicago's Blackstone Hotel. This model was most likely created for the show and his lecture. Clipping on verso: "A New Wright Project. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, left, and manufacturer Marshall Erdman, Madison, Wis., look over a model of a prefabricated three-bedroom house that is expected to sell for about $20,000. The new creation of the 88-year-old architect is expected to go into production early in 1959. The two-story house model is being displayed at the National Association of Home Builders annual convention in Chicago." Stamped on clipping: "Jan 23 1958." Stamped on verso: "1946 Jan 22." (SIC.

In the December 1956 issue of House & Home (S#1112.00), "Here is prefabrication’s biggest news for 1957. Frank Lloyd Wright has at long last built a prefab house and Erdman Homes is putting it on the market for 1957. This is both big news and amazing news. It is big news because it gives prefabrication – once the step child of home building – the prestige associated with the greatest name – the prestige associated with the greatest name in contemporary architecture. It is amazing news, because the principle advocate of standardization and modular planning had to wait 60 years before he got his chance to put his original theories into practice. Wright had been designing panel construction systems since 1910 using materials like wood, steel and concrete..."
The Van Tamelen Residence, the first Erdman Prefab #1to be constructed, was featured on the cover and in an article in the December 1956 issue of House & Home. Outside walls were faced with textured Masonite boards. Horizontal wood battens were added every 16". Inside walls were faced with 1/4" mahogany plywood, with horizontal battens every 16". A blonde pigmented bleach was used to lighten and warn the mahogany. Interior and exterior battens lined up with the joints in the concrete blocks. Masonry blocks were standard 8 x 8 x 16". The roof was covered in red asphalt shingles. Horizontal battens were added, creating ridges, adding to the horizontal appearance of the house.

It included a large living room, dining room, family room and kitchen, four bedrooms and two bath.
On a trip through Wisconsin we made a quick stop at the Iber Residence. The tall gated fence makes it clear that visitors are not welcome. The floor plan is similar to the other Prefab #1 homes although this home has four bedrooms. It is constructed of limestone. The board and batten siding is painted.

Description: Marshal Erdman and Associates Prefab #2. Frank Lloyd Wright designed three prefab homes for Marshal Erdman and Associates. Prefab #3 was never built. The Rudin Residence was the first of two to be built. Clipping pasted to verso: "The open sweep of plan achieved by the late Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect of a prefabricated home erected in Madison, Wis., as part of that cities annual parade of homes, is illustrated in this view from the north bank of windows of the home. To the left of the painted concrete block fireplace is a lower level dining area. The kitchen is located behind the fireplace. Above the dining room is one of three upper level bedrooms which open to the living room but can be closed off by folding walls. To the right of the fireplace is the stairway to the upper level and, behind it, the entrance foyer. A small portion of the upper level bedroom gallery can be glimpsed at the far right of the picture. The living room is 20 x 24', but dimensions mean comparatively little when a plan is as open as this one is. -- Journal staff by John Ahlhauser."
