| Based on his long-term interest in affordable housing, influential architect Frank Lloyd Wright developed a series of prefabricated housing designs marketed under the name of "American System-Built Houses." The building at 10410 S. Hoyne was erected by Burhans-Ellinwood & Co. as the model home for a subdivision to be comprised of these residences. The only other Wright-designed house to be built, before the project was abandoned at the outset of World War I, is at 10541 S. Hoyne. It was built for H. Howard Hyde, a cashier at International Harvester. | |
