GLENCOE, IL — A Frank Lloyd Wright house has returned to the market just three months after it was last sold. The 10-room, recently updated stucco home was designed in 1914 and features four bedrooms, 2,200 square feet and a 0.29 acre lot between Sheridan and Green Bay Roads.

Kier, a physician, owned one of several Prairie School homes built on the estate of Sherman Booth as part of a planned community. Booth was a lawyer who had worked for Wright, and his wife Elizabeth was a notable suffragette leader was was instrumental in lobbying Illinois lawmakers to grant women the right to vote in 1913.

The Kier House includes stained glass windows, a brick fireplace and hardwood design elements, according to its listing. The home's two and a half bathrooms are renovated, along with the kitchen area.

Property records indicate the home was sold to a pair of documentary filmmakers for $752,000 in January 2018 after hitting the market last September for just under $800,000 and going under contract in mid-November. It had previously been purchased in 2005 for $790,000, and the Cook County assessor's office estimates its 2018 market value at just over $791,000.

According to the Glencoe Historical Society, only five homes were ever built in Ravine Bluffs, which had been intended to include 25 Wright-designed customizable homes with Jens Jensen landscaping, a private train station, and a bridge over a nearby ravine to the adjoining parks and golf courses. The homes were all similar to the "Fireproof House for $5000" design, published by Wright in Ladies Home Journal in April 1907.

Another home in the subdivision – a cottage where the Booth family lived while their house was under construction – was listed last fall but has since been withdrawn from the market.
