S.146 – Eugene A. Gilmore “Airplane House,” 120 Ely Place, Madison, Wisconsin

 

Photographed on August 28, 2009.  The house was nicknamed “the Airplane House” because it seems to glide in air.  It’s a great example of early cantilever construction, which was an emerging characteristic of Wright’s designs in the first decade of the century – although this is a fairly mild example when compared to some of his other designs.
