Detailed glass also runs on either side, and along the bottom of the window. The upper and lower portions of the window are bridged together by vertical cames. Julie Sloan called this a “Bamboo-Curtain pattern,” Light Screens, 2001. Other examples include the Davenport (1901), Henderson (1901), Fricke (1901), Cheney (1903), Brown (1905) and the Martin Gardener’s Cottage (1905). Most of the windows in the house included clear glass, with opaque, white and gold accents. The windows in the stable used clear glass.        As in many of Wright’s other houses, he created a different design for the interior art-glass. Wright designed art-glass for the bookcase doors in the living room, a different design for the four living room skylights, and again, a different design for the dining room skylights. Wright also designed the art-glass in the front door, and the arched transom above.        Lower text: Residence F. W. Little. First Floor. Second Floor.

He hired his friend, Frank Lloyd Wright to design his home in Peoria. He retained Wright again that year to add a Stable to the home. In 1908 they sold the home and moved to Minnesota where they hired Wright to build a second home, "Northome".        He was more that a client, he was a friend and supporter of Wright’s work. In 1910, when Frank Lloyd Wright published Ausgefuhrte Bauten und Entwurfe von Frank Lloyd Wright, it included a descriptive booklet. Page 31 included Wright’s acknowledgment: "Charles E. Roberts, Francis W. Little and Darwin D. Martin - three American men of affairs, who have believed in and befriended this work when natural opposition from without and inherent faults within threatened to make an end to it. Without their faith and help this work would never have reached its present development. Frank Lloyd Wright."        The top one-third of the window holds the most detail.

S#: 1846.52.0420     Date: 1975 Title: The Burlington Magazine (Furniture and Decoration) - December 1975 (Published by The Burlington Magazine Publications LTD, London) Author: Heckscher, Morrison Description: “Frank Lloyd Wright’s Furniture for Francis Little. From the beginning of his career Frank Lloyd Wright claimed that furniture was an integral and important part of his architectural design. Nonetheless, his work as a furniture designer has been almost entirely neglected. In the vast bibliography on Wright it receives only passing comment. Yet this furniture is of the highest importance. On its own it is original and often strikingly handsome. In the context for which it was made it becomes an integral part of Wright's domestic architecture. And it is an indigenous midwestern interpretation of the English Arts and Crafts movement.        The acquisition by the Metropolitan Museum of Art of the great living room and its furnishings from Northome, Wright's second house for Francis W. Little, offers the opportunity to focus on a specific group of related pieces which document remarkable parallels between his furniture and his architecture, both during his Oak Park period and after.        By 1900, when Wright prepared the preliminary scheme of a house for Francis W. Little, he had already designed some fifty private houses - first as a sideline to his work in the office of Louis Sullivan and, after 1893, on his own. He had an office in Chicago and his studio attached to his house in suburban Oak Park. Little, a midwestern businessman, was to become a friend and financial backer of Wright, as well as twice a client...“        Includes 11 photographs and illustrations related to the two houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Francis Little.

When the Littles moved to their second home Northome, the print stand went with them. When the home was demolished, and the Living Room moved to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, it went with, and is there today. As early as 1911, there was also a Print table in Wright’s home in Oak Park.        Set of 43 exterior photographs of the Little Residence 1, photographed by Douglas M.

From the beginning of his career Frank Lloyd Wright claimed that furniture was an integral and important part of his architectural design. Nonetheless, his work as a furniture designer has been almost entirely neglected. In the vast bibliography on Wright it receives only passing comment. Yet this furniture is of the highest importance. On its own it is original and often strikingly handsome. In the context for which it was made it becomes an integral part of Wright's domestic architecture. And it is an indigenous midwestern interpretation of the English Arts and Crafts movement.        The acquisition by the Metropolitan Museum of Art of the great living room and its furnishings from Northome, Wright's second house for Francis W. Little, offers the opportunity to focus on a specific group of related pieces which document remarkable parallels between his furniture and his architecture, both during his Oak Park period and after.        By 1900, when Wright prepared the preliminary scheme of a house for Francis W. Little, he had already designed some fifty private houses - first as a sideline to his work in the office of Louis Sullivan and, after 1893, on his own. He had an office in Chicago and his studio attached to his house in suburban Oak Park. Little, a midwestern businessman, was to become a friend and financial backer of Wright, as well as twice a client...“        Includes 11 photographs and illustrations related to the two houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Francis Little.

Waters, Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.        Excerpts from Water’s description: “Destroyed in 1972, the second Little House was the last major Wright-designed structure to be demolished. Before its destruction, many elements of the house were salvaged. Windows and other decorative items can be found in many public and private collections. Three spaces have been recreated in museums. The best-known of these recreations is the living room, installed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The other spaces are the library, installed in the Allentown Art Museum, and the bedroom hallway, installed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. In order to better understand how these three spaces fitted into the original structure, I created a digital model of the house. In the process of creating that model, I learned about a significant change Wright made to the house during the process of designing it.” Additional information and animation: https://savewright.org/exploring-the-lost-second-little-house/  See Additional Details...

Little Residence II, Northome, Deephaven, Minnesota / Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Living Room 2018 (1912 - S.173). Set of 47 photographs of the Little Residence II Living Room. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1912. On a visit to New York City in 2018, we had the opportunity to visit the Living Room, reconstructed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1902, Frank Lloyd Wright designed the first house in Peoria, Illinois, the Francis W. and Mary Little Residence I & Stable.        Francis Little was an attorney and owner of a utility company in Peoria, Illinois. He hired his friend, Frank Lloyd Wright to design his home in Peoria. He retained Wright again that year to add a Stable to the home. In 1908 they sold the home and moved to Minnesota where they hired Wright to build a second home, "Northome".        He was more that a client, he was a friend and supporter of Wright’s work. In 1910, when Frank Lloyd Wright published Ausgefuhrte Bauten und Entwurfe von Frank Lloyd Wright, it included a descriptive booklet. Page 31 included Wright’s acknowledgment: "Charles E. Roberts, Francis W. Little and Darwin D. Martin - three American men of affairs, who have believed in and befriended this work when natural opposition from without and inherent faults within threatened to make an end to it. Without their faith and help this work would never have reached its present development. Frank Lloyd Wright."        Not only did Wright design the house, but also the furniture, windows and light fixtures. He also designed a Print Table, which could be found at the Little Residence, Taliesin (ST#2016.26), Wright’s Home and Studio (S#0104.15), and two were made for the Dana House, Decorative Designs, Hanks, 1999, p.82-83. When the Littles moved to their second home Northome, some of the furniture, including the Print Table went with them. When the home was demolished, and the Living Room moved to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, it went with, and is there today. As early as 1911, there was also a Print Table in Wright’s home in Oak Park.        In addition to the Print Table (1902-03), designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Little’s Peoria House, the room is filled with additional furniture from Peoria. The Library Table (1902-03) which dominates one end of the living room was extended on both ends. It is now thirteen feet long. There is a Table (1902-03) next to the Sofa and Arm Chair. There are two Plant Stands (1902-03) in the living room, one on either end of the room. There are four Arm Chairs (1902-03), two close to the fireplace, one in the center and one next to the Library Table. There are two Side Chairs (1902-03), both setting close to the Print Table.        Frank Lloyd Wright designed a number of pieces specifically for the Little’s second house. Near the entrance by the fireplace   is a Table (1912-14). The top is cantilevered out on both sides. The are five Floor Lamps (1912-14), two near the fireplace, two by the Print Table and one in the corner close to the Library Table. There are four wall Light Fixtures (1912-14), placed on either end of the built-in seating, on both sides of the room.        The are also items in the room that are related to the Littles. There are two original copper Weed Holders (1890–1910) on the table next to the Sofa. The museum indicated, “While this pair is not the set the Littles owned, their daughter Eleanor Stevenson, in a letter to the Museum dated January 1974, described some of the room's original furnishings and sketched a similar vase, characterizing it as "excessively tall." She wrote that the family had a pair of such vases placed in the recesses of the fireplace." There is an original copper Urn (1899) on the Library Table. The Littles owned one of these original urns. Setting on the Print Table are three of Wright's Wasmuth Portfolios (1910), a project partially funded by the Littles.        There was not a sofa in the living room when the museum purchased it, so they borrowed the Sofa (1909) from the Robie House.        Mr. Little past away in 1923. Mrs. Little gave the summer home to their daughter Eleanor and her husband, Raymond Stevenson. By the late 1960s, the Stevensons could not keep up with the challenges of the home. In 1972, after efforts were exhausted to preserve the Little House on its site, interior rooms were saved. The Metropolitan purchased the house in 1972, installing the Living Room, selling other portions of the home to other museums. The Allentown Art Museum installed the Library. The Minneapolis Institute of Art installed remnants of other rooms. The Domino’s Center for Architecture and Design purchased the Bedroom Wing and displayed portions of it.        There are two entrances to viewing the Little Living Room at the museum. The entrance was at the top of the front exterior stairs, located in the loggia between the living room and screened pavilion, was originally on the East end of the living room. The second entrance was from the center portion of the house, reached from the bedroom wing and the library, originally on the West end of the living room. We begin with the view from the West end.        Set of 47 photographs of the Little Residence II Living Room, photographed by Douglas M. Steiner on April 4, 2018, on a a visit to New York City. Our intent is to record the details that create the totality of the design, creating a complete picture, as-well-as the present condition of the home. In an effort to expedite adding these photographs to this website, we have dispensed with a description for each photograph. Original 23 X 15 high res digital images.   1) Francis W.

Little Residence II, Northome, Deephaven, Minnesota, Animation 2023 (1912 - S.173). Set of nine screen captures from the recreation of the Little Residence II, created by John H. Waters, Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. Excerpts from Water’s description: “Destroyed in 1972, the second Little House was the last major Wright-designed structure to be demolished. Before its destruction, many elements of the house were salvaged. Windows and other decorative items can be found in many public and private collections. Three spaces have been recreated in museums. The best-known of these recreations is the living room, installed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The other spaces are the library, installed in the Allentown Art Museum, and the bedroom hallway, installed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. In order to better understand how these three spaces fitted into the original structure, I created a digital model of the house. In the process of creating that model, I learned about a significant change Wright made to the house during the process of designing it.” Additional information and animation: https://savewright.org/exploring-the-lost-second-little-house/ (ST#2023.31.0924-1)   2) Francis W.
