The William and Jessie M. Adams House is a Prairie school style house located at 9326 South Pleasant Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.

Description and history

[edit]

The house was built between 1900 and 1901 by Frank Lloyd Wright. This squarish two-story house with a brick-faced first floor has double-hung windows which Wright usually disdained.[1]

It was designated a Chicago landmark on June 16, 1994.[2]

In March 2014, the house was sold for $980,000 after being owned by the same family since 1952.[3]
