William H. Emery, Jr., House
William H. Emery, Jr., House is a Prairie School residence in Elmhurst, Illinois. It was one of the first independent commissions for Walter Burley Griffin.
==History==
William Emery, Sr. moved to Chicago, Illinois and purchased the Seth Wadhams farm in Elmhurst in 1887. Aside from profits made from developing the farm, Emery served as president of the Elmhurst school board, Golf Club, and the New England Society of Chicago. Emery also had an important role in bringing electricity and water supply to the town. Emery had six children, including William H. Emery, Jr. The younger Emery was a personal friend to architect Walter Burley Griffin, whom he met in school. Griffin had designed the Elmhurst Golf Club, but the Emery house was his first residential commission. Emery had ideas about what he wanted his house to look like, and believed that Griffin's mentor Frank Lloyd Wright would not be tolerant of his opinions. The house was a wedding gift from the senior Emery to the junior Emery and was completed in 1903. The 1909 William B. Sloane House at 248 Arlington is the only other Griffin-designed residence in Elmhurst.〔http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/223348.pdf〕
