Wow! House: Live In A Unique Frank Lloyd Wright Landmark For $195,000
The Foster House and Stable is considered one of the famous architect's most unusual designs.
CHICAGO, IL -- You could own a Chicago Landmark and piece of American history for less than $200,000. This rare Frank Lloyd Wright home—known as the Foster House and Stable—is still searching for a buyer, despite being considered one of the most unique homes the renowned architect designed. Wright designed many homes in Chicago's suburbs, but far fewer in the city proper.
The home's uniqueness came from Wright's love of Japanese architecture and art, which influenced him to try a different type of design. Here's a look at some other Frank Lloyd Wright Homes in Oak Park.
The Foster House and Stable was first listed in April for $239,000, and went through several price reductions. On Monday, the landmark was listed at $195,000. The owners of the Foster House would be required to preserve and restore it when needed.
