This house was built in 1893 by Frank Lloyd Wright for Walter H. Gale. It's one of the three "Boot-Leg" houses because Wright designed them while he was still working for Adler & Sullivan and his contract prohibited him from taking outside commissions. This was the first of the houses completed after he left the firm.
I think this house is beautiful. I have a thing for round rooms and wall to wall windows. I can only imagine the upper room of the rounded part of the house being the perfect room for a studio plenty of light and space. And the veranda makes it all the more perfect even though it's in the Queen Anne style and technically I prefer Victorian architecture.
