Heller House

  • Address: 5132 S. Woodlawn Ave., Hyde Park, Chicago, IL | Map It

Fodor's Review:

When he designed this house in 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright was still moving toward the mature Prairie style achieved in the Robie House 12 years later. As was common with Wright -- and very uncommon then and now -- the entrance to the Heller House is on the side of the structure. Of special interest are the sculptured nymphs cavorting at the top. The house is not open to the public.
