Police Say Assailants Targeted 71-Year-Old Grandmother Emma Wright When They Shot Into Her House, Killing Her. CHICAGO (CBS) — There were growing questions Monday night surrounding the murder of a 71-year-old grandmother, who was killed when assailants fired into her home in Morgan Park. As CBS 2’s Jermont Terry reported, the community cannot understand who would intentionally shoot int the Emma Wright’s house. But all signs show she was targeted because of whom she let live with her. Chicago Police detectives late Monday were working to figure out who fired into the woman’s house and killed Wright. But as to the question of why, the investigation leads to someone very close to the 71-year-old – and that leads many to question what happened to the old street code. At 71, Wright’s life ended tragically. As she sat on her couch in Morgan Park off 108th and Morgan streets, police said assailants intentionally fired multiple rounds at her house at 7:39 p.m. Sunday. “It says that someone really didn’t care,” said Pastor Donovan Price of Street Pastors. Wright had called her house home for more than three decades. “It hits home when home is no longer that safe place,” Price said. Chicago Police said the shooters targeted Wright’s home, possibly looking for family members who recently moved in. “Shooting into a house is definitely sending a message,” Price said. Price said those toting the guns in Chicago have no regard for the street code that once existed. Under that code, gangs would not touch certain people. “Children, elderly, women – you know, definitely children and women,” Price said. “Today, there is no ‘off-limits.’” And while the murder of the grandmother comes as a shock, neighbors told us that back in the fall, police tape surrounded the house too. “A young man passed away, unfortunately,” a woman who lives nearby said. But this time, Wright, the homeowner, was not spared. “She don’t bother nobody or anything. She’s very well-liked in the neighborhood,” the neighbor said. “So this is really, really sad.” But it appears the grandmother’s death was to send a message to someone in her family. “Terrible things from some lost people,” Price said. “Hurt people, hurt people.” Police said two gunmen opened fire on Wright’s house. No one was in custody late Monday night. Pardon Our Interruption. As you were browsing, something about your browser made us think you might be a bot.

MOUNT GREENWOOD — The Beverly Hills/Morgan Park Home Tour will once again feature sprawling and historic homes, but a tiny house will be on display this year too. The 144-square-foot house was built in 2015 by students at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences. Students at the school showcased the house that same year at the Chicago Flower and Garden Show. Since then, the school at 3857 W. 111th St. has used the tiny house at a handful of events, including at a car show on campus and as part of a cooking demonstration for elementary school students. Selling the tiny house then became part of a lesson plan set up by Noelle Coronado, an agriculture finance teacher. Her students developed brochures and held an open house Oct. 22 for the miniature home on wheels.

Ludwig] A deal 1½ months in the making ended up falling through, and students hope a new buyer emerges at the home show. They have set the price of the house — which needs a bit of work — at $10,000 and are willing to negotiate. For the home tour, the tiny house will be parked at Ridge Park, 9625 S. Longwood Drive in Beverly. The park's field house was built in 1913 and will serve as the starting point for the tour. The park will also be open for tours, including its renowned John H. Vanderpoel Memorial Art Gallery. In addition, five homes will be on the self-guided tour that runs from noon-5 p.m Sunday. Advance tickets are available online and cost $30. Tickets can also be bought on the day of the tour for $35. Margot Burke Holland is the executive director of the Beverly Area Planning Association, which hosts the annual showcase of homes. She's expecting upward of 800 people for the tour as a pair of homes designed by famed architect are expected to draw a crowd. "This is a really special year," Holland said. The tiny house built by students at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences is 144-square-feet and can be towed up to 45 miles per hour. [DNAinfo/Howard A. Ludwig] Getting a rare glimpse of these Prairie-style homes in Beverly also coincides with the 150th anniversary of Wright's birth, so Holland is expecting enthusiasts from throughout the Midwest to converge in Beverly for the tour. That bodes well for the tiny house, said Jim Slee, an agriculture mechanics teacher who led the team of 18 seniors who built the 8-foot-by-24-foot structure. He admitted that the house was completed in a rush ahead of the garden show, but it was also a huge hit as the project capitalized on the popularity of several new television shows including HGTV's "Tiny House Hunters" and "Tiny House Nation." But in the rush, some things remained unfinished. For example, the tiny house doesn't have a toilet, nor does it have holding tanks for fresh water or waste water. There also aren't batteries to supply electricity. "We were pressed for time," said Slee, adding that much of the tiny house was built on the floor of the garden show at Navy Pier. Slee also said these items were left out — in part — because the new owner might want to park the tiny house at a campground. In that scenario, fresh water and electricity would likely be provided as well as an outlet for waste water, he said. A loft bed sits above the kitchen table in the tiny house built by students at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences. The table also folds flat to become a sleeping surface. [DNAinfo/Howard A. Ludwig] "We were trying to make it as much like an RV as possible," Slee said. He also said that students from the school would be willing to further customize the house to a buyer's specifications for a fee. But most of the structure is already in place, including a loft bed and a kitchen table that converts to a sleeping area. The tiny house can sleep five people, according to the sellers. There's no oven, as the builders believed most meals would be cooked on an outdoor grill. The buyer would also have to provide a refrigerator and space heater. "The whole idea of a tiny house is to spend most of your time outside," Slee said. Holland said the tiny house is sure to be a popular attraction on the home tour. She also appreciated the juxtaposition of the small house against some of the larger homes that will be on display. "I think it's always nice to showcase all kinds of homes. I don't think it needs all kinds of square footage to be a unique home," Holland said. 20 Most Beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright Houses. Also known as the Kaufmann Residence, the is by many regarded as the most beautiful of all Frank Lloyd Wright houses. And it isn’t hard to understand why. The spectacular house was built between 1936 and 1938 over a small waterfall in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. It served as a summer retreat of Edgar J. Kaufmann and his family until 1963 when it was bestowed to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy which shortly thereafter opened it to the public. . Also known as the Aline Barnsdall Hollyhock House, this Wright’s home was designed for the American oil heiress Aline Barnsdall in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, designated as a National Historic Landmark and added to the Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings that are nominated for inclusion to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list, the Robie House is considered to be the finest Wright’s Prairie style house. Located in Hyde Park, Chicago, the house was built between 1908 and 1910 for the Robie family who, however, didn’t enjoy their new home for long. The house changed its owners several times before it was in 1997 acquired by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust that had it restored and opened to the public. West. Wright built the in 1937 as his winter residence, studio and architectural school but the original building continued to be changed and expanded with new structures, many of which were designed by the architect’s students.

Since 2011, the Ennis House has been owned by the American businessman Ron Burkle. But before the ownership was transferred from the Ennis House Foundation, Burkle agreed to open his new home in Los Angeles for public viewing 12 days a year. Nathan G. Moore House. The Nathan G. Moore House or the Moore-Dugal Residence was built twice by the famous architect. In 1895, Wright built the house in Tudor Revival style as asked by its owner Nathan G. Moore. After it had been damaged by a fire almost three decades later, he was asked to rebuilt it. While incorporating elements of the Tudor style, this time the architect also added his own distinct touch. The house not far from the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois, is currently home to the Dugal family. Arthur Heurtley House. The Arthur Heurtley House, located in Oak Park, Illinois, is one of the first Wright’s Prairie houses. Built in 1902 for the Heurtley family, the house changed several owners who kept on altering it.

In 2000, when the $1.2 million restoration works were nearing the end, the house was inscribed to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and designated as a National Historic Landmark. F. F. Tomek House. The F. F. Tomek House, also referred to as the Ship House is an early example of Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie houses. Built for Ferdinand Frederick and Emily Tomek in 1906 (designed in 1904), the house in Riverside, Illinois, changed several owners (the Tomeks sold it in 1924) but it remained beautifully preserved thanks to an extensive restoration in the 1970s. In 1999, it was designated as the U.S. National Historic Landmark. Eugene A. Gilmore House. Also called the Airplane House, the Eugene A. Gilmore House is another typical Wright’s Prairie style house. It was designed for Eugene A. Gilmore who was at the time law professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School.

Allen-Lambe House. The Allen-Lambe House was built for Henry J. Allen and his family in 1917 according to the 1915 Frank Lloyd Wright design. Listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places since 1973, the house in Wichita, Kansas, is open to the public as the Frank Lloyd Wright Allen-Lambe House Museum. It is operated by the Allen-Lambe House Foundation that bought it from the Wichita State University Endowment Association in 1990. . The Rosenbaum House is one of the first Wright’s Usonian style homes and according to many, one of the finest examples of the architect’s vision of the middle-income family houses. It was built in 1940 for Stanley Rosenbaum and his wife Mildred, and remained in possession of the Rosenbaum family until 1999 when Mildred went to a nursing home. In the same year, the only Wright’s house in Alabama was bought from the Rosenbaums by the City of Florence that had it restored and opened to the public as a museum. Taliesin. Also known as Taliesin East, Taliesin is the architect’s former home and studio in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It was built in Prairie style in 1911 but the current structure is a third version as both the first and second version were damaged heavily by two major fires. Just like Taliesin West, Taliesin was after Wright’s death conferred to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation that was founded by the architect and his third wife Olgivanna in 1940. In 1976, the Wright’s home in Spring Green was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and designated as a National Historic Landmark District.

Also referred to as La Miniatura, the Millard House is the so-called , the first of only four designed by the architect in 1923-24. It was built for rare book dealer Alice Millard for whom Wright had already designed a home in Illinois in the early 1900s. Even though the Millard House is today one of Wright’s most famous and most admired houses, it initially wasn’t well received by the critics. Located in Pasadena, California, the house is still used as a private residence. In 2011, it was offered for sale at nearly $4 million. Storer House. The Storer House is a Mayan Revival textile block house which was built in 1923 in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, for Dr. John Storer.
