In the midst of a depression Nathan More asked Wright to build a home for him in 1895. With few prospects Wright agreet to build Moore the English Tudor home he desired. It must have rankled Wright to see this decidedly un-Prairie School house so close to his home.
In 1922 after a Christmas-time fire gutted the house Moore once again turned to his friend and neighbor for help. Wright proceeded to reimagine the home adding many exotic features which by that time had become characteristically FLW. The detailings on the porch recall Wright's facination with pre-Columbian motifs of his Californian period.
