MAP

 

Located in the Heritage Hill historic district, this house was completely renovated by local furniture maker Steelcase in the late 1980s and preserved for free public tours. 

 

The Amberg Residence (formerly S.166, but removed from Prof. Storrer’s listings because it is no longer believed to be a Wright design) is two blocks south.

 

Photographed on July 10, 2009 and February 24, 1991 (bottom of page).
