Willits House
The Ward W. Willits House is a building designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed in 1901, the Willits house is considered the first of the great Prairie houses. Built in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park, Illinois, the house presents a symmetrical facade to the street. One of the more interesting points about the house is Wright's ability to seamlessly combine architecture with nature. The plan is a cruciate with four wings extending out from a central fireplace. In addition to stained-glass windows and wooden screens that divide rooms, Wright also designed most of the furniture in the house.
==Background==
The Willits House is Wright's first true Prairie style house, as such it is the culmination of the period of experimentation that Wright engaged in the previous few years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wright's Illinois Work )〕 This house was designed for Ward Willits in 1901, who was then vice-president of Adams and Westlake Company, a brass foundry. He was later made president. Orlando Giannini, who was employed by Willits at the time, may have been responsible for the creation of this house as he introduced Wright to Willits.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Willits House )〕 Wright was known for bridging the gap between architecture and nature, which makes this house fascinating because it is a full expression of Wright's interest in reconnecting with nature and Wright's equal interest in Japanese architecture and the Dutch art movement that was simultaneously occurring.
