southwest c 1900 only recently i found out that there was a significant frank lloyd wright house long since lost in my own neighborhood a few blocks from where i live the joseph husser house once stood on buena ave in the buena park area of chicago the more i look at illustrations of this residence the more remarkable it seems completed in 1899 the husser house seems a transitional work between wright s earlier boxy residential designs and his future prairie style masterpieces from eric j nordstrom s urban remains post he claims that when looking closely at the house s ornamentation e g exterior frieze arches etc wright still resides in louis sullivan s orbit but at the same time his use of more distinct and strongly geometric forms and or patterns pushed him towards a style of his own urban remains post in frank lloyd wright s an autobiography he described the husser home as characterized to a certain extent by the sullivanian idiom at least in detail p 127 wright designed the husser home five years after the winslow residence 1894 three years after the heller residence 1896 and two years after the furbeck residence 1897 it was his last commission utilizing louis sullivan s exterior ornamentations as he moved toward and perfected his prairie styled homes wright placed an announcement in the july 2 1899 issue of the economist f l wright has designed for helen w

photos of the residence husser house viewed from the southeast adaptation of frank lloyd wright s design by douglas m steiner frieze and living room fireplace illustration husser house john h waters in the case study looking for the lost husser house claims that several elements in the house reflect both wright s past and future work including the influence of his mentor louis sullivan in the decoration on capitals of the entry colonnade and of the second floor porch the third floor frieze reminds him of similar friezes at the winslow house 1893 in river forest illinois and the heller house 1896 in chicago s hyde park within a year wright would abandon the literal representation of plant life and other organic sources for the abstracted angular interpretations that are found in his prairie period work winslow house left heller house right husser house frieze details from some of the above illustrations signs of wright s future prairie work can also be found just over two years after the husser house wright would adopt the husser s overall cruciform plan in a much more sophisticated manner at his 1901 willits house in highland park illinois as well the octagonal porch of the husser house foreshadows the west porch of the robie house 1908 although the dynamism of the cantilevered roof of the robie house porch is a world away from the column supported husser house porch roof one could argue that the husser house has neither the refinement of the heller or winslow houses or the masterful brilliance of the willits or robie houses but the fact that in the husser house we can see wright working out certain design ideas that will contribute to the brilliance of those later works makes the house just as fascinating as the masterpieces that follow it looking for the
