Frank Lloyd Wright enjoyed a long and stellar career, a good chunk of which he devoted to his signature prairie style of architecture. Two homes claiming to be the first and the last of this type still stand in the Midwest, though hundreds of miles apart in Wichita, Kansas, and Kankakee, Illinois.
Tours of both show off elements of this distinctive style: horizontal lines, earth tones, overhanging eaves and rows of casement windows. A visit to each reveals similarities but also demonstrates how Wrightâs work evolved over the nearly two decades he spent tinkering with this particular design.
