S.051 – Edward R. Hills
Remodeling, 313 Forest Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois This house is a few doors down from
the FLW home and studio, amongst several Wright projects. This may be one of the more “conventional”
identifiable Wright designs in the neighborhood. Compare it, for example, to the Huertley
Residence (#74) and the Moore
Residence (#34). The house was
extensively damaged by fire in 1976, leading to reconstruction in 1977 by the
DeCaro family (as noted on the plaque below). This is listed as a remodeling
project. The home was purchased by Nathan Moore as a wedding gift
for his daughter upon her marriage to Edward Hills. It was originally in what is now the back
yard of Moore’s residence, and was moved a short distance to this location. Photographed in August 2008, August
30, 2009, November 11, 2013, & January 26, 2014. Project number: T.0102
