Saving Chicago’s Only Wright Home

A historic Frank Lloyd Wright gem in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood is saved from demolition thanks to a local group’s $125K purchase. Built in 1903, this Prairie-style home — the only Wright-designed single-family residence on the West Side — was once on Illinois’ endangered list. Austin Coming Together, with a track record of community-driven revitalization, plans to restore it for public use — maybe as a cultural hub, arts space, or tourist attraction — with initial repairs costing $275K–$575K and full restoration projected at $2.5M–$3.5M.
