Prairie Style House, Circa 1919, Elberton

This house is a neighbor to the Mediterranean Revival example in the previous post, and is an indication that the Forest Avenue neighborhood embraced a wide variety of architectural styles in the 1910s and 1920s, as did middle- and upper-class neighborhoods throughout the country at the time. The Prairie School is most often associated with Frank Lloyd Wright and was quite modern for its time. While the shingle siding on this house is a bit unusual for the style, there are numerous interpretations of the style.
