S.043 – George Furbeck Residence, 223 North Euclid Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois MAP This most unusual house has been modified. William Allin Storrer notes that the front porch area was once open and smaller. Notice that the ninth course of bricks (and upward) on the front of the house differs from the lower courses – which were more likely the originals (even though they do not share the pattern of the brown bricks on the main structure). Wright designed a home a few blocks away for Furbeck’s brother, Rollin (S.044). The massive display of shrubbery has been removed to allow this interesting home to shine. A modern detached garage is visible from the alley, but probably not original to this 1897 home. Photographed on September 1, 2009. Project number: T.9701
