Frank Lloyd Wright Style Homes Still Alive in Vancouver, WA!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

Frank Lloyd Wright's inspiration for an indigenous architecture had its roots in the flat, expansive prairie landscape of the American Midwest where he grew up. “The prairie has a beauty of its own and we should recognize and accentuate this natural beauty, its quiet level. Hence, gently sloping roofs, low proportions, quiet sky lines, suppressed heavy-set chimneys and sheltering overhangs, low terraces and out-reaching walls sequestering private gardens,” he wrote, listing some of the characteristics of what came to be known as the Prairie style of architecture.

Currently, we have a listing of a home that very much represents the Prairie Style of architecture that has views of the Columbia River in Washington state. See pictures and details of this amazingly beautiful home at: http://www.asividoteam.com/listing/mlsid/210/propertyid/12363424/
