The William and Jessie M. Adams House is a Prairie school style house located at 9326 South Pleasant Avenue in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.
Description and history
[edit]The house was built between 1900 and 1901 and its design is credited to Frank Lloyd Wright, although there is some dispute about this. The squarish design, double-hung windows and sizeable third-floor attic were not standard features of Wright-designed homes at this time, and some scholars believe this home may have actually been designed by William Adams himself, who served as a contractor on several Wright homes.[1][2]
The house was designated a Chicago landmark on June 16, 1994,[3] and a Chicago Landmark plaque is embedded into the ground in front of the home.[4]
In March 2014, the house was sold for $980,000 after being owned by the same family since 1952.[5]
