The Nathan G. Moore house in Oak Park, Illinois is a Tudor inspired house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright originally completed in 1895.The house was built approximately 200 feet (60 m) south of the property of Wright's home and studio. Both properties border Forest Avenue.
Nathan Moore told Wright, "We don't want you giving us anything like that house you did for Winslow," referring to the Wright designed Winslow House in River Forest, Illinois. "I don't fancy sneaking down back streets to my morning train just to avoid being laughed at."
Wright disliked the Tudor style along with other revivalist styles. He believed that styles should be forward looking and innovative as he had been trying with his Prairie style.
Fire
On 23 December 1922, an electrical fire destroyed the upper part of the house. Nathan Moore was still living in the house so he asked Wright to redesign the upper part, and the house was rebuilt.The redesign included lowering the roof line downward by ten feet, incorporating geometric trim around the windows, and chimney, as well as adding a cantilevered porch and concrete water table.
