F.L.Wright, "A Home in a Prairie Town” In Ladies Home Journal, 1901. G.E. Woodward, Suburban House, 1873 «Il progetto di questa casa fu fatto allo scopo di dare ad ogni stanza un'esposizione soleggiata a sud; e su dieci stanze nove godono almeno una vista a sud-est. Il piano principale è disposto in modo che l'atrio spazioso, con la scala in curva, presenta dall'ingresso una visuale attraente. Il camino è il centro della casa e aperture con porte scorrevoli mettono a ciascuna delle stanze principali; cosicchè all'occasione atrio, salotto, biblioteca e sala da pranzo possono essere riunite; mentre la forma ottagona di queste stanze aggiunge molto alla loro bellezza». ! ! The design of this house was done in order to give each room a sunny south, and nine out of ten rooms have at least one view to the south-east. The main floor is arranged so that the spacious foyer with curved staircase, entrance presents a visual appealing. The fireplace is the center of the house with sliding doors and openings bring to each of the main rooms, so that on occasion entrance hall, lounge, library and dining room can be combined, while the octagonal shape of these rooms adds much to their beauty [George E.
