An excellent example of Prairie-style architecture, this house evokes the
imagery of the Midwestern prairie through its horizontal form and
integration with the landscape. It is the city's only surviving building
designed by John Van Bergen, a former member of Frank Lloyd Wright's
architecture firm. Allan Miller, an advertising firm executive,
commissioned the house. |
