The George Madison Millard House, is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed Prairie School home that was constructed in Highland Park, Illinois, United States in 1906. It was the first of two houses that Wright would design for the Millards.
History
George Madison Millard was the manager of the rare book department of
South Side of Chicago.[3]
The house is a typical example of Wright's Prairie School houses. The floor plan is cruciform in design. The exterior walls are brown-stained board and batten siding laid horizontally. The roof is hipped with 3.5-foot (1.1 m) overhangs.[4] Wright later included drawings of the Millard house in his Wasmuth Portfolio.[5]
The Millards moved to
Multiple Resource Area. The house in Pasadena is also listed in the National Register.[1]
