Frank Lloyd Wright popularized the style both through his built designs and also through his many publications. In the April 1907 edition of Ladies Home Journal he published a design for a “fireproof house” that became the inspiration to architects and builders all over the country. Wright himself built several variations on this seminal design. The Emil Bach Residence is one of these, an exquisite example that includes many subtle features often lost on other Wright projects, such as the trellis that extend from the house over its surrounding terraces. This two story house, built over a basement, has a compact, efficient, almost square plan. The first floor contains Living, Dining and Kitchen areas flowing freely one to the next, anchored around a substantial brick fireplace. A beautiful feature in this room is the alcove opposite the fireplace, surrounded on 3 sides by windows. The second floor contains 4 bedrooms and a bathroom. This upper level could be reconfigured to accommodate a second bathroom quite easily, making a Master Bedroom suite. As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, these plans offer an excellent starting point. These plans are ideal for a moderately sloping site, in which case a walk-out basement could be built. With a standard basement these plans would work very well on a flat site. This house would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. Including porches and terraces, this house has outside dimensions of approximately 58’x61’. Please visit my eBay store for many other drawings I am offering. I have house plans in wide variety of styles including Colonial, Craftsman, and Prairie, as well as plans of architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Irving Gill, Purcell & Elmslie and others.

But your local builder or architect should be able to adapt these drawings and add to them as necessary. What they do provide is accurate design information about a REAL historic house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
