Information

The reason this doesn't look particularly like one of Wright's Prarie School designs is that it was originally built as an Italianate house. Copeland commissioned Wright to first bulild a garage for the home in 1908. A year later Wright was again commissioned but this time to alter the exterior of the home by changing the roof line, adding the deep porches and replacing the entry way with design elements of his own.
