S.126 – George Madison Millard Residence, 1689 Lake Avenue, Highland Park, Illinois Built in 1906, this board-and-batten home is found at the southern terminus of Lake Avenue where it turns into Sycamore Place. Parking is very difficult in this area (narrow roads, signs prohibiting parking), so watch for traffic and cops! Other Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the area are the Adams Residence, also on Lake Avenue (S.108), and the Willits Residence (S.054) and its adjacent Willits gardener’s cottage (S.055). There is another Millard Residence in Wright’s portfolio. In 1923 Mrs. Millard moved to California, and Wright designed the textile-block home known as “La Miniatura” for her in Pasadena (S.214).
