S.034 – Nathan G. Moore Residence, 333 Forest Avenue, Oak Park,
Illinois S.034A – 1923 remodeling LINK TO “FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT
IN OAK PARK” WEB PAGE This Tudor style was designed by
Wright for his neighbor, and remains one of the master’s most curious and
photogenic projects. It is a couple
doors down from the FLW home and studio, and situated on a corner. It is easy to get great shots from both
streets. The garage shown at the bottom of this page is not the stable. The stable is actually on a more remote
corner of the property, accessible from the alley, and nearly directly behind
the Hills Residence next door (S.051)
(purchased and remodeled for Moore’s daughter). It is partially visible in some of my
photos of the Hills house, and also has its own page (S.035) with more direct
photography. Although there has been substantial
remodeling and some of Wright’s original design features lost to fire or
other remodeling projects, even as designed it would have to be considered
one of Wright’s more eclectic designs.
The additional features brought about by remodeling make it even more
so today – a jumble of many architectural styles. Photographed in August 2008, August
30, 2009, and January 26, 2014. Project numbers: T.9503, T.2303 |
The gable-roofed
structure adjoining the garage was part of the original design. An open gated entrance to the yard was part
of the original construction, but was walled
in and a garage door added (as shown below, right) at some later point.
