Heller was born in Austria in 1847 and his wife, Ida, was born in Wisconsin in 1857. Heller immigrated to Chicago, and with his partners Christian Wolf and George J. Sayer, formed Wolf, Sayer & Heller, Inc., one of the leading suppliers of butchers' and packers' supplies, with offices in New York, Chicago and Montreal. In 1905 Heller patented a Meat Slicing Machine (pat. no. 894,829), and in 1908 he patented a Second Meat Slicing machine (pat. no. 939,417). The "Butchers', Packers' and Sausage Makers' Red Book", published by Wolf, Sayer & Heller in 1913, paints a clear picture of the supplies and equipment available from their company.        After attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Frank Lloyd Wright headed for Chicago in 1887 and accepted a position as draftsman in the architectural firm of Joseph Lyman Silsbee. Later that year, he applied for and secured a position in the office of Alder and Sullivan. While they concentrated on commercial buildings like the Auditorium Theater, Wright became responsible for many of the residential homes, including Sullivan's own Bungalow (1890 - S.005), Charnley Bungalow (1890 - S.007) and Residence (1891 - S.009) and the Albert Sullivan Residence (1892 - S.019). Wright also took on "Bootlegged" commissions designed on the side. Most include the McHarg (1891 - S.010); McArthur (1892 - S.011); Clark (1893 - S.013); Blossom (1892 - S.014); Emmond (1892 - S.015); Thomas Gale (1892 - S.016); Parker (1892 - S.017); Harlan (1892 - S.018); Orrin Goan (project 1893); Peter Goan (1893 - S.029); Walter Gale (1893 - S.020) and the Municipal Boathouse (1893 - S.022). Sullivan became aware of these in 1893, he charged Wright with breach of contract.        Heller may have become acquainted with Wright in Sullivan's office. In 1893 Sullivan was commissioned to design a warehouse for Wolf, Sayer & Heller at 310 N. Peoria Street, Chicago, which still exists today.        Like the Winslow home, the Heller residence was an important step in Wright's development of a true Prairie Style. Like the Winslow, Roloson and Francis Apartments, distinct Sullivanesque elements remained, a merging of the old and new. Wright wrote of this in his Autobiography, "...saw the making of the Winslow plans... The Husser and Heller home, the Lexington Terraces, the Wolff Lake Resort. A number of other buildings all characterized to a certain extent by the Sullivanian idiom, at least in detail. I couldn't invent the terms of my own overnight. At that   time there was nothing in sight that might be helpful. I had no Sullivanian models, even for any of these things." 1932, page 127.        In 1895 Wright installed a carved stone plaque outside his Oak Park office which included his logo, a Celtic cross within a circle, within a square. This design element was incorporated into the top of the entrance gates in the Francis Apartments (S.032), designed in 1895. He also incorporated the logo on his Letterhead, added it to the bottom right-hand corner of the title page for "The Eve of St. Agnes" and later was added through-out "The House Beautiful".        In 1895, when Wright designed  the Francis Apartments (S.032), he elaborated the same theme by overlapping geometric circles in a Sullivanesque pattern. Wright repeated this pattern when he designed the title page of "The Eve of St. Agnes", framing his winged females within decorative foliated circles. According to Hanks, the design for the title page was an interpretation of Beaux-Arts female figures.        The following year, 1896, when Wright designed the Heller House (S.038) he adapted his drawing from the title page, creating a three-dimensional friezes. The plaster friezes were created by sculptor Richard Bock. Wright was so pleased with the result he place four panels above the fireplace in his Oak Park Studio.      Like the Winslow house, Wright mixes stone and brick to the exterior of the entrance. But unlike the Winslow house, Wright adds stone columns to the Heller residence. The column capitals are Sullivanesque in style. There are columns on each floor, and each is different. Whereas the capitals of the Charnley residence (1891) are minimal, the Heller capitals in comparison are elaborate.        The columns on the first floor are large stone columns, octagonal in shape, with its unique Sullivanesque capitals. The columns on the second floor are large, square and constructed of brick with square Sullivanesque capitals. The columns on the third floor are small in size, round, with a larger Sullivanesque capitals.        At a glance, the columns on the third floor are vaguely similar to the columns in the Winslow reception hall. In some respects the Husser residence came much closer in relationship to the columns and capitals of the Heller residence.        Sadly, Ida Heller past away in 1909 at the age of 52. Isadore Heller lived in the home a few more years, but sold it and moved in 1913.        May 2014     Isidore Heller I, 1896   Isidore Heller I, 1896.   Isidore Heller I Detail (above, final perspective below), 1896. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation dates the Heller Residence as designed in 1896. Paul Krudy, "Prelude To The Prairie Style," 2005, dates the design as 1897. To date, we have found no information to indicate why this first variation was rejected, and why changes were made. There are many significant changes. On the east side (street side), the Living Room was originally extended, creating a balcony above. The window was one large opening, versus four vertical openings. Major changes were made to the second floor roof line, encompassing the whole second floor, eliminating the three quatrefoil designs above the balcony. On the South side, the Dining Room on the left, was also originally extended mirroring the living room, creating a balcony above. The window was one large opening, versus four vertical openings. It was also scaled back, imitating the new design of the Living Room. The window in the Reception Room was round. The Living Room window on the South side was also one large opening, versus five vertical opening. The original third floor exterior surface was plain, Wright added the maiden friezes to the surface.

There are three variations of Sullivanesque capitals on the exterior of the Heller residence. On the first floor, two capitals at the entrance.   A second version is on the second floor, in two slight variations. The first atop four square brick columns, and the second atop six round or octagonal bricks columns. The third variation is on the third floor.

After securing a commission with the Luxfer Prism Company, Wright built a new Studio attached to his home in 1898. Possibly staged and photographed just after completion. Brick fireplace with a circular opening. A brick column balances out each side, possibly set at 45 degrees (?), base and capped with stone. Cubed stones balance the opening and set on the hearth. Tucked behind the large vase on the far left is a Sullivanesque frieze, similar to the Winslow door panel or the panel that faces the Roloson row houses. A Wright designed studio arm chair is to the left of the fireplace. A large floor matt with an Native American pattern sets in front of the fireplace, a smaller runner is draped over the chair. Wright commissioned Orlando Giannini to paint three American Indian murals in his Oak Park home in in 1895. John Lloyd Wright wrote, " ‘Skinny’ Giannini from Italy painted American Indians in brilliant colors on the walls of Papa’s bedroom... Papa liked Indians!" "My Father Who is on Earth," 1946, page 34. On the upper face of the fireplace hangs four frieze panels sculptured by Richard Bock for the Heller Residence in 1896. According to Richard Bock, Wright asked him to design a small panel for Mrs. Heller (1896 - S.038). "As an inducement to do the freeze he asked me to model a portrait statue of his son John, which was intended for the children’s playroom in the home he was building in Oak Park. The figure was about two feet tall and was to represent a goldenrod. John Wright was then about four years old and the most contentious model I have ever encountered... It eventually turned out to be an attractive piece of sculpture of a very angelic child." "Memories of an American Artist," Bock, 1989, page 67.

It belongs to a stylistic category of Wright’s work that has been termed 'Monitor' referring to the third story which is raised above the main eaves and capped by a smaller hip roof. The arcade and frieze of this story contains elaborate Sullivanesque ornament and sculptural figures, the latter executed by Richard Bock.        The Living, Dining, and Reception Rooms as well as the Kitchen are on the first floor. Five bedrooms are on the second floor. Playroom is on the third floor. The large brick tower houses an elevator that services the basement and all three floors.

The square panels below the Living Room windows match the billet molding framing the main entrance.        The North (back) entrance sets on a thick limestone foundation, very similar to the foundation of the Husser Residence (1899). The art glass windows, different than those of the stairway, repeats the design element in the upper Sullivanesque panels, seen between the winged maidens.        The large limestone columns on either side of the entrance are octagonal in shape, with ornamental Sullivanesque capitals. The columns support three square frieze panels, each with a quatrefoil design. The light fixture has been replaced with one more consistent with the design of the home.

Very helpful in dating photographs of Wright’s early. Excerpts:        There are a lot of interesting houses on Woodlawn Avenue (Heller). The clere-storied one at 5132, designed by Mr. Wright, has been given a very pleasing, delicate texture by laying up the warm light gray Roman bricks in white mortar, suppressing the vertical joints with mortar colored to match the bricks. A formal planted approach of unique design, a loggia with octagonal columns of bricks laid with rustic angles, a rich frieze of "staff" modeled by Richard Bock, the sculptor, are interesting features, handled with characteristic cleverness and originality.

Description: This image appears to have been taken after Plate 43 was photographed, which was published in "In The Nature of Material", Hitchcock, 1942, and at the same time as a photograph published in the November 1908 issue of House Beautiful. It appears to have been photographed just after completion of the home, with a few minor details not finished. Photographed during the winter, there are no vines on the front of the home, like those in the AB 1911 image (circa 1910). The three trees on the left, and one on the right are seen in AB 1911 photograph. The exterior light fixture to the right of the entrance seen in 1913 has not been installed. Although the gutters have been installed, the down spout on the east side of the Southeast corner seen in AB 1911, are missing, but the house numbers have been installed. The vase sits on a low pedestal, just behind the bushes, centered in the entrance sidewalk. Courtesy of the City of Chicago. Size: 10 x 7.6 B&W photograph.

Description: View of the Heller Residence from the Northeast. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1896. Like the Winslow home, the Heller residence was an important step in Wright's development of a true Prairie Style. Like the Winslow, Roloson and Francis Apartments, distinct Sullivanesque elements remained, a merging of the old and new. Wright wrote of this in An Autobiography, "...saw the making of the Winslow plans... The Husser and Heller home, the Lexington Terraces, the Wolff Lake Resort. A number of other buildings all characterized to a certain extent by the Sullivanian idiom, at least in detail. I couldn't invent the terms of my own overnight. At that time there was nothing in sight that might be helpful. I had no Sullivanian models, even for any of these things." 1932, page 127. Stamped on verso: "Photo Wayne Andrews."

One of Wright’s hallmark’s was to vary ceiling heights. Raising it in some areas, lowering it in other areas in the same room. Creating a room within a room. This creates the illusion that the ceiling is higher than it actually is. Wright described the room in the June 1900 issue of Architectural Review, "Interior walls of rough sand finish. Trimmed in quartered and waxed white oak. Plaster saturated with pure color. Floor finish and furniture of one wood and color throughout. Lighting fixtures in main rooms wooden standards with globes worked in brass and opalescent glass. Interior color scheme bronze and dull green." The living room brick fireplace is framed in oak. Built-in bookcases balance each side of the fireplace area. The fireplace and bookcase ends are faced with delicate filigree panels. The Living Room’s brass light standards were removed, but outlines of the standard’s bases remain on the floor in the living room. Photographed by Richard Nickel in 1965.

Description: Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1896. Like the Winslow home, the Heller residence was an important step in Wright's development of a true Prairie Style. Like the Winslow, Roloson and Francis Apartments, distinct Sullivanesque elements remained, a merging of the old and new. Wright wrote of this in his Autobiography, "...saw the making of the Winslow plans... The Husser and Heller home, the Lexington Terraces, the Wolff Lake Resort.
