S.070 – Frances W. & Mary
Little Residence I 1505 West Moss Avenue, Peoria,
Illinois S.071 – Stable S.152 – Additions to stable Built in 1902, this house sits on
the corner of West Moss Avenue and North Institute Place, allowing views from
two streets plus the alley. The Littles lived here about a year, and then sold to Cora G.
and Robert D. Clarke, who commissioned
a renovation of the stable (S.152).
The Littles build another Wright-designed
home in Minnesota in 1912 (S.173,
since demolished). Photographed on August 2, 2014. Project number: T.0009

S.071 – Stable
In 1909 the Little Residence was sold
to Cora G. Clarke. She and her husband, Robert
D. Clarke, had Wright revise the stable, turning it into living space. The upper area of the main structure was
turned into living space. The area at
the left of the photo shows an added section that contained new stable stalls
to make up for the converted living space.
The other end – which cannot be seen from the street but is visible in
the alley – contains car repair workspace (including an oil change pit).
