I chose this to be the first house featured for my blog because it is owned by the college I attend, Lawrence Tech. It is the subject matter of many classes projects because of its connection to the school and its relatively close proximity to campus. Visits by students are common, but most of the time only the exterior can be photographed unless accompanied by someone who has access to the house.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Affleck house was built in 1940 for Gregor S. and Elizabeth B. Affleck. It is built in Wright's Usonian style and is mostly brick. It has three bedrooms and four bathrooms. This many bathrooms is uncharacteristic of Wright and there may have been other plans for those spaces.
Due to the private ownership of the home by Lawrence Tech and ongoing restoration efforts by students and faculty tours are usual not possible. I was lucky enough to have the privilege of touring the house with one of my classes and took several photos of the interior.
