S.067 – Frank Wright Thomas
Residence (The Harem), 210 Forest Avenue, Oak Park,
Illinois The design reminds me of the Heurtley
Residence (#74) further up the street because of its arched doorway. Forest Avenue is a treasure trove of Wright
designs, with eight homes anchored by the FLW home (#2) at the corner of
Chicago Avenue. Within a block either
way are several more Wright designs.
It is no surprise that this area is a main feature of the Oak Park
walking tour (which views the exteriors of homes). The house was commissioned by James C.
Rogers for his daughter and son-in-law; the couple lived there only
briefly. Photographed in August 1991 and on
April 2, 2017. Project number: T.0106 2017
