S.131 – Pebbles & Balch Shop
remodeling, 1107 Lake Street, Oak Park, Illinois Wright did interior and exterior remodeling
for the Pebbles & Balch Shop, an interior decorating company co-owned by
Oscar B. Balch (S.168). In the century since that 1907 remodeling
project, the property has changed hands and faces many times. No part of Wright’s work remains. Nonetheless, I thought you might want to
see what is at that location today. It
is only coincidence that Wright’s remodel showed signs of his recent visit to
Japan, and a sushi restaurant sits at 1107 Lake now. Photos of the original can be found
on the Steinerag website. Photographed on March 29, 2016.
