S.283 – Herbert & Katherine
Jacobs Residence II, 3995 Shawn Trail, Middleton,
Wisconsin Mr. & Mrs. Jacobs had
commissioned an earlier home in Madison (S.234). This was built a mere eight years later, in
1944. The house represents Wright’s
initial foray into use of circular patterns.
Unfortunately, the house, prominently featuring stone, is not visible
from the surrounding roads due to trees circling the residence. I was only able to catch a glimpse of the
stonework. It is located in Middleton, a suburb
just west of Madison, and is located within a mile of the US-14 freeway (“the
Beltline”). Visitors should be aware that an
adjoining house – which appears to be on the same property, and is very close
to the driveway markers designating the house as a historic landmark – is not a Wright design. Photographed on April 30, 2016. |
