Yard of the Bach House



Just around the corner from us sits a beautiful front yard with an ugly house. Sorry Frank, you're just not my type. That's Frank Lloyd Wright no less. And of course the house is a city landmark.
The plaque in front reads:

"One of the last of Wright's small urban houses, the Bach house combines elements of the Prairie style with a compact plan well suited for an interior lot. The inward orientation of the house ensures the privacy of its residence and reflects Wright's idea of the importance of family life. Designated a Chicago Landmark on September 28, 1977."

I love how they call it small and compact.
