“Upon its completion in 1938, the house was a simple and modest space of 2400 sq ft suitable for both living and working. In essence it is a three-room open plan structure with beautiful spaces for living, sleeping and working. Located on a farm field on the rural edge of Chicago’s urban energy, the house staked its own distinctive position in the world of Prairie School evolution, international modernism, and Wright’s yet-to-be-defined/built Usonian invention.” (Schweikher House website)
