  See our Wright Study on the Horner Residence    Additional Chicago Homes 
 
 
Date: Circa 1910

Description: Samuel & Lena Horner Residence (1908 - S.142). Front exterior viewed from the street, looking South circa 1910. As you entered the sidewalk on the left, you passed the Garden Wall with it's pedestal that begged for a urn. A large prairie styled Robie House urn would have fit perfectly. Turning right into the Garden, you entered the home through the art glass front door. The Reception Room is on the left. Five wide stairs lead up to the balance of the first level. The Living Room is in the center foreground with art glass doors that exit out to an enclosed Terrace. The Stairway landing and Kitchen overlooked the symmetrical Garden and Garden Wall on the right. Upper level. As you reached the top of the stairs, the Bedrooms and the Bath were reached by turning left. The Balcony on the east (left) was reached through the two smaller Bedrooms in the center of the upper level. A row of art glass windows were just beneath the roof line of the Master Bedroom in the center. Turning right at the top of the stairs lead to the exterior balcony over the Kitchen. Both Balconies had built-in Planters on either end. The low pitch of the roof almost gives the appearance of being flat like the Gale Residence. Most likely photographed by Henry Fuermann.  For more information see our Wright Study on the Horner Residence.
