Title:
Joseph J. Walser Residence, Chicago, Illinois, Original Dining Room
Sideboard Cabinet Door Art Glass, 1903 (1903 - S.091).
Description: Original sideboard cabinet door art glass
from the J. J. Walser Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
in 1903. The building permit was issued in May, 1903 and
completed and occupied by the end of the year. The house sat on
an uncrowded lot, in the newly annexed Austin neighborhood.
An interesting feature of the design, indicated on the plans, is
the ceiling trim that runs continuously from the Living Room
through the center to the Dining Room, unobstructed. Constructed
of stucco and wood trim. The interior and exterior art glass was
removed in the 1960s. As of today, the condition of the house is
in desperate need of restoration, before it is beyond salvaging.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy is working
tirelessly to find a buyer that would have the means to restore
the house.
The interior
and exterior Walser art glass, light fixtures and built-ins were
removed prior to 1969 when Anne and Hurley Teague, the last
owners, purchased the house.
When we acquired the Walser art glass, it lacked the wood frame
that stabilized the art glass. We were alarmed at the
instability this created and wondered how the art glass had even
survived the past fifty plus years. It became instantly clear,
for the preservation of this piece, to build a simple wood
frame. But because of the significance of the piece, and the
beauty of the art glass, a simple wood frame would not suffice.
A few early exterior photographs exist, but interior photographs
of the Walser dining room appear to be nonexistent. Plans in the
Avery Library at Columbia University include drawings for the
interior of the Walser House, including plans for the built-in
sideboard. There are two art glass cabinet doors on the
sideboard. Above the drawers and small cabinet doors is a mirror
framed in wood trim.
Although there are differences, the
Walser House (1903) is very similar in design to the
Barton
(1903 - S.103),
DeRhodes
(1906 - S.125) and
Horner (1908 - S.142) houses.
The Barton House (1903 - S.103), has been meticulously
maintained and restored. Of all three, the Barton sideboard
appears to be the closest in design to the Walser, although
there are still differences. When you also consider the
similarities in the art glass, it offers the closest glimpse of
what the Walser sideboard may have looked like. In October,
2024, we had the opportunity to travel to Buffalo and tour the
Barton house. The Darwin D. Martin complex and Barton Residence
are truly beautiful works of art.
The DeRhodes House (1906 - S.125) was designed three years
later, and is also similar both in design and sideboard.
The Horner House (1908 - S.142) was demolished in 1952. Although
photographs of the build-in sideboard have not been found to
date, there are plans for the sideboard
in the Avery Library at Columbia University. Of the three
houses, the Horner sideboard is the least like to Walser.
According to Julie Sloan, “In the windows of the Walser and
Barton, Wright returned to the chevron patter he had developed
earlier in the Dana house. Unlike the Dana chevrons, however,
many of which were based on the sumac flower, the Walser design
provides no concrete indication of a source in nature. Here the
chevron device seems to be developed for its own decorative
qualities.
“The Walser
design as executed is a pendant form terminating in a small
square. As drawn, the square was to be embraced by the elongated
arms of the chevrons, which created an ascendant device. In the
Barton windows, the pendant ends in an elongated device, while
in the William R. Heath windows it is a large square. Wright
clearly wanted to create the effect of a hanging form in these
three similar designs.”

Description: Viewed from the street from the
East. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1903, the house sat on
an uncrowded lot, in the newly annexed Austin neighborhood.
There appear to be three photographs that were taken around the
same time period and after construction was completed, and
judging the foliage on the trees, most likely the summer of
1904. One of the three was published in the September 1905 issue
of House Beautiful. Although there are slight
differences, the Walser is very similar in design to the
Barton,
DeRhodes and
Horner houses. The Living Room faces
the street, the dining room is at the back of the house. The
Entrance and Reception Room is on the left, the Kitchen is on
the right. The Reception room and Kitchen are set back from the
front of the house, and two identical porches balanced out the
front of the house. The porches were later roofed and enclosed.

Title: National Register of Historic
Places, Joseph J. Walser House (Published by the National Park Service
and the National Register of Historic Places)
Author: Cramer, John D
Description: Built in 1903 by architect Frank
Lloyd Wright, the Joseph J. Walser House is located in Chicago,
Illinois, at 42 N. Central Avenue. The building stands in Chicago's
Austin community area approximately one-half mile north of Columbus
Park, one mile north of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Expressway, and nine
miles west of the Loop central business district. The Walser House is a
two-story wood frame structure clad in white stucco and
dark-painted pine wood trim topped by an asphalt-shingled hipped
roof, with massing and details that exhibit classic Prairie
School features. Cruciform in plan, the home's center two-story
block contains living spaces on the first floor with five
bedrooms and one bathroom on the second. The house's north wing
contains the reception room (main entry) with a kitchen and
storage spaces in the south wing. An independent wood-frame,
one-story stucco-clad garage at the rear of the property was
also probably designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, was built c.1903,
and exhibits design elements typical of Wright and the Prairie
School.

Title:
5) Joseph J. Walser Residence, Chicago,
Illinois, Second Story Window 2015/1903 (1903 - S.091).
Description:
One of twenty-six second story windows sold
at Toomey & Co., Chicago, on March 17, 2015, from the Joseph J.
Walser House. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1903, the house
sat on an uncrowded lot, in the newly annexed Austin
neighborhood. The building permit was issued in May, 1903 and
completed and occupied by the end of the year.
Frank
Lloyd Wright specified the second story windows at 2' 4.25"
(28.25") wide x 3' 1" (37") high. The interior and exterior
Walser House art glass was removed in the 1960s.
The design of the Walser House is very similar to the
Barton,
DeRhodes and
Horner houses. Julie Sloan wrote, “The J. J. Walser
Jr. and the George Barton houses, both of 1903, are virtually
identical in floor plan and elevation. In their windows, Wright
returned to the chevron patterns he had developed earlier in the
Dana house. Unlike the Dana chevrons, however, many of which
were based on the sumac flower, the Walser design provides no
concrete indication of a source in nature. Here the chevron
device seems to be developed for its own decorative qualities.
“The
Walser design as executed is a pendant form terminating in a
small square. As drawn, the square was to be embraced by the
elongated arms of the chevrons, which created an ascendant
device. In the Barton windows, the pendant ends in an elongated
device, while in the William R. Heath windows it is a large
square. Wright clearly wanted to create the effect of a hanging
form in these three similar designs.”
Light Screens, 2001. The
Walser windows were executed in clear glass, green, amber and
white opalescent glass, gold foil glass, lead caming.

WALSER AND THE BARTON SIDEBOARDS |
| |
|
 |
George Barton Residence, Buffalo,
New York, Dining Room Sideboard 2021 (FLLW #0301) (1903 -
S.103).
View of the Barton Residence dining room sideboard. On a
visit to New York, we had the opportunity to visit the
Darwin D. Martin Complex, which includes
the Darwin D. Martin Residence, the Conservatory and
Pergola, the two-story Garage and Stable, the Gardener’s
Cottage, a greenhouse and the
Barton Residence. Mrs. Barton was Darwin
Martin's sister. The Barton Residence was designed by Frank
Lloyd Wright in 1903, and was the first to be built. It was
built on an adjacent lot on the Northeast corner of the
complex. It was designed to blend with the other buildings
that Wright designed. When the complex was completed, not
only did the Barton house blend with the complex, but was
also connected by a low wall that ran from the Southwest
corner of the house to the Conservatory.
The Martin House
is considered among the most important designs of Wright’s
career. Breathtaking does not begin to describe the Martin
House. In some respects it dwarfs the Barton House.
Nevertheless, the Barton House is a jewel.
Bruce Brooks
Pfeiffer wrote, “The plan of the Barton House is a basic
cruciform, with dining room and living room extending on one
plane, crossed by the kitchen, reception hall, entry and
covered veranda... The similarity between the
Walser and Barton
houses leaves little reason to doubt that Wright had shown
the Walser plan to Martin...”
Frank Lloyd
Wright, Complete Works 1885-1916, 2011.
In
1910, Wright included the Barton House in the
Wasmuth Portfolio,
Plate XXVI (26):
“Masonry dwelling for Mr. Martin, Buffalo, N.Y. Adjoining
the Martin residence.” His description for the Barton House
reads: “A building in the larger Martin group, occupied as a
separate residence. A type of floor plan originated in the
Walser house at Austin. The main floor is one large room,
with entrance and porch at one side, and stair and kitchen
on the other.”
Julie Sloan wrote, “The J. J. Walser Jr.
and the George Barton houses, both of 1903, are virtually
identical in floor plan and elevation. In their windows,
Wright returned to the chevron patterns he had developed
earlier in the Dana house. Unlike the Dana chevrons,
however, many of which were based on the sumac flower, the
Walser design provides no concrete indication of a source in
nature. Here the chevron device seems to be developed for
its own decorative qualities.
Since acquiring one of the
art glass panels from the
Walser sideboard, which lacked the door frame,
no photographs of the Walser dining room have survived. The
only glimpse of Wright’s intent is a single drawing of the
Walser sideboard
in the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives. With the lack of a door
frame on the Walser art glass, studying the Barton and the
DeRhodes
sideboards were invaluable. With so many similarities
between the houses, one of the objective of our visit to
Buffalo was the opportunity not only to visit the Martin
House, but also the Barton House, exterior and interior.

JOSEPH J. WALSER RESIDENCE SIDEBOARD ART
GLASS 1903 |
|
|
|
 |
1) Joseph J. Walser Residence, Chicago, Illinois, Dining
Room Sideboard Cabinet Door Art Glass, 1903 (1903 - S.091).
Original sideboard cabinet door art glass
from the J. J. Walser Residence. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright
in 1903. The building permit was issued in May, 1903 and
completed and occupied by the end of the year. The house sat on
an uncrowded lot, in the newly annexed Austin neighborhood.
According to Julie Sloan, “In the windows of the Walser and
Barton, Wright returned to the chevron patter he had developed
earlier in the Dana house. Unlike the Dana chevrons, however,
many of which were based on the sumac flower, the Walser design
provides no concrete indication of a source in nature. Here the
chevron device seems to be developed for its own decorative
qualities.
“The Walser
design as executed is a pendant form terminating in a small
square. As drawn, the square was to be embraced by the elongated
arms of the chevrons, which created an ascendant device. In the
Barton windows, the pendant ends in an elongated device, while
in the William R. Heath windows it is a large square. Wright
clearly wanted to create the effect of a hanging form in these
three similar designs.”
Light Screens, 2001, p.252.
Art glass: 22.5" Wide x 66" High. New door
frame: 26.375" Wide x 72.125" High x 1.0" thick.

1A) Joseph J. Walser Residence, Chicago,
Illinois, Living/Dining Room Window 2009/1903 (1903 - S.091).
Two views of a living or dining room window
sold at the Wright Auction, Chicago, on June 2, 2009. One of
four living or dining room windows from the Joseph J. Walser
House. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1903, the house sat on
an uncrowded lot, in the newly annexed Austin neighborhood. The
building permit was issued in May, 1903 and completed and
occupied by the end of the year.
Frank
Lloyd Wright specified the Living and Dining Room windows at 1'
1" (13") x 3' 5" (41"). The interior and exterior Walser House
art glass was removed in the 1960s.
The
design of the Walser House is very similar to the
Barton, DeRhodes and Horner
houses. Julie Sloan wrote, “The J. J. Walser Jr. and the George
Barton houses, both of 1903, are virtually identical in floor
plan and elevation. In their windows, Wright returned to the
chevron patterns he had developed earlier in the Dana house.
Unlike the Dana chevrons, however, many of which were based on
the sumac flower, the Walser design provides no concrete

“The Walser design as executed is a
pendant form terminating in a small square. As drawn, the
square was to be embraced by the elongated arms of the
chevrons, which created an ascendant device. In the Barton
windows, the pendant ends in an elongated device, while in
the William R. Heath windows it is a large square. Wright
clearly wanted to create the effect of a hanging form in
these three similar designs.”
Light Screens, 2001. The
Walser windows were executed in clear glass, green, amber
and white opalescent glass, gold foil glass, lead caming.

JOSEPH J. WALSER RESIDENCE 1904 |

Joseph J. Walser Residence 1904
(1903 - S.091). Viewed from the street from the East.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1903, the house sat on an
uncrowded lot, in the newly annexed Austin neighborhood.
There appear to be three photographs that were taken around
the same time period and after construction was completed,
and judging the foliage on the trees, most likely the summer
of 1904. One of the three was published in the September
1905 issue of
House Beautiful. Although there are
slight differences, the Walser is very similar in design to
the Barton,
DeRhodes
and Horner houses. The Living
Room faces the street, the dining room is at the back of the
house. The Entrance and Reception Room is on the left, the
Kitchen is on the right. The Reception room and Kitchen are
set back from the front of the house, and two identical
porches balanced out the front of the house. The porches
were later roofed and enclosed. (S#0055.20.0720) |

Joseph J. Walser Residence Circa
1935-1945 (1903 - S.091). Viewed from the Northeast.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1903, the house sat on an
uncrowded lot, in the newly annexed Austin neighborhood. The
corner of the eve of the two-story apartment building to the
North, built circa 1925, can be seen in the upper right. The
four-story apartment building built to the South circa 1950
has not been built yet. Although there are slight
differences, the Walser is very similar in design to the
Barton,
DeRhodes and
Horner houses. The Living Room faces
the street, the dining room is at the back of the house. The
Entrance and Reception Room is on the left, the Kitchen is
on the right. The Reception room and Kitchen are set back
from the front of the house, and two identical porches
balanced out the front of the house. The porches have been
roofed and enclosed. Text bottom left: "67368." Courtesy of

Joseph
J. Walser Residence 2018 (1903 - S.091). Set of 81 high res
20 X 13.5 digital images. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in
1903, the house sat on an uncrowded lot, in the newly
annexed Austin neighborhood. Today the home is dwarfed by
apartment buildings on either side of the house, and
deteriorating on the exterior.
The building permit was issued in May, 1903 and
completed and occupied by the end of the year.
Although there are slight differences,
the Walser is very similar in design to the
Barton,
DeRhodes and
Horner houses. The Living Room faces the street,
the dining room is at the back of the house. The Entrance
and Reception Room is on the left, the Kitchen is on the
right. The Reception room and Kitchen are set back from the
front of the house, and two identical porches balanced out
the front of the house. The porches were later roofed and
enclosed.
Constructed of stucco and wood trim. The interior and
exterior art glass was removed and funds used to save the
home from destruction. The entrance to the house is on the
left. Like the Horner Residence, the entrance leads to the
reception room. Four stairs lead up to the center of the
main level. The area from the Dining Room on the left to the
Living Room on the right is open. An interesting design
element on the plans indicates ceiling trim that runs
continuously from the Living Room through the center to the
Dinging Room, unobstructed. Seeing how well the interior has
been maintained, the trim appears to never have been
installed.

Shortly after the home was completed, a photographs of
the house was published in the September 1905 issue of House
Beautiful.
Wright must have been pleased with the final result, he
published a photograph of it in "Frank Lloyd Wright,
Chicago," in 1911.
Joseph Walser’s father, Jacob J. Walser, along with two
brothers, Frederick L and Samuel G. Goss formed the Goss
Printing Press Company in 1885. They developed the web press
used in the newspapers industry which allowed printing up to
100,000 pages per hour. Walser brought the financial backing
and was named President. The Goss’s held hundreds of
patents. Frederick was named vice president and Samuel was
named secretary. The company held hundreds of patents
related to the printing industry.
Joseph J. Walser received an engineering degree from the
University of Michigan in 1899. Immediately after college,
he began working for the Goss Company. He also held many
patents and was made Treasurer of the Goss Printing Press
Company in 1913.
