The Prairie style originated in Chicago in the early 20th century and spread throughout the suburbs and other large midwestern cities. The style quickly faded after World War I, but was most popular in the years between 1900 and 1920.
A group of unusually creative architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, were the main developers of this unique style. Those architects were known as the Prairie School. Wright is acknowledged as the “master of Prairie house.” His 1893 Winslow House was possibly the first known Prairie house. Most of the other Prairie architects either worked with Wright, or worked with his earlier employer and
teacher, Louis Sullivan. Other architects were inspired over the years by Wright’s and Sullivan’s designs while visiting Chicago.
Although originating in Chicago, many Prairie style houses in their vernacular form spread widely throughout the country by pattern books published in the Midwest. Many elements from Prairie style were resurrected when Ranch style initially began during the 1930′s. These elements can still be seen in some American homes built today.
