The Heurtley House is one of Wright's earliest, fully mature Prairie style houses and the patterns that he established with the home would eventually appear in many of his greatest works within the style. The fundamental characteristic of Prairie style are all present in the 1902 Heurtley House. The major spaces are raised above the surrounding grounds, ceilings echo roof forms and the fireplaces are in the center of the house. The exterior features overhanging eaves, a large central chimney, horizontally grouped windows and terraces and balconies. The home's interior is unique in that its ground plan is reversed from the traditional layout of American homes. The living and dining areas are on the top floor of the house. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Heurtley_House
