Home Savings Bank
3762 E Washington Ave, Madison, WI
2005-2006
I am always excited when I find a modern version of a Prairie style house, especially if I can see what Frank Lloyd Wright buildings are in the retro version.
The Home Savings Bank has a lot of features of the Robie House (1909) in Chicago. It was one of his last Prairie houses and has features from several of his earlier houses.
Robie House, Chicago, 1909.
The Home Savings Bank building also looks a lot like the Taleisin Preservation's reductive line drawing of Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
Elmhurst Memorial Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois is arguably the largest complex of retro prairie style architecture.
