The Winslow House, located in River Forest, Illinois, just 11 miles west of downtown Chicago, is now on the market for $1,985,000. This historic home holds a special place in architectural history as it was Frank Lloyd Wright’s first independent commission at the young age of 26 in 1893.

Before designing iconic structures like Fallingwater and Taliesin West, Wright was working for the architecture firm Adler & Sullivan in Chicago. However, his passion for private design commissions led to his departure from the firm, allowing him to pursue his own projects. The Winslow House was the first project he took on as an independent architect, commissioned by Edith and William Winslow, who owned an iron company in Chicago.

The Winslow House is a significant piece of Wright’s early work and is considered to be his first Prairie-style design. This style emphasizes harmony between buildings and their natural surroundings, inspired by the vast Midwest landscape. The house features many signature elements of Wright’s style, such as a low-pitched roof, deep eaves, and a unique inglenook fireplace.

In 2016, Susan and Arthur Vogt purchased the Winslow House and embarked on a $1 million renovation project to preserve its historic charm while updating it for modern living. The renovation included adding air conditioning, updating the electrical system, renovating bathrooms, and landscaping the yard. The Vogts are selling the house at a loss, hoping to find new owners who will appreciate and care for the home as much as they have.

The Winslow House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and holds a special place in architectural history as the starting point of Frank Lloyd Wright’s illustrious career. Its unique design and rich history make it a truly special property for those looking to own a piece of American architectural heritage.
