Ruck north on East Ave to 515 N East Ave, the home of Dr. Percy Lavon Julian. From Wikipedia: Around 1950, Julian moved his family to the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, becoming the first African American family to reside there. Although some residents welcomed them, there was also opposition. Before they moved in, on Thanksgiving Day, 1950, their home was firebombed. Later, after they moved in, the house was attacked with dynamite on June 12, 1951. The attacks galvanized the community, and a community group was formed to support the Julians. Julian’s son later recounted that during these times, he and his father often kept watch over the family’s property by sitting on the front porch with a shotgun.

 

Continue to ruck north on East Ave to Edwin H. Cheney House by FLW at 520 N East Ave. Notable from the recent historical fiction novel, Loving Frank: Built in 1903, it was designed by FLW ght for electrical engineer Edwin Cheney. The house is part of the FLW–Prairie School of Architecture Historic District. It was this commission that precipitated the love affair between FLW, and Edwin’s wife, Mamah Cheney (née Borthwick), the climax of which occurred in 1909 when Wright abandoned his architectural practice and left with Mrs. Cheney for a year in Europe. This era of FLW ‘s life ended in 1914 when the former Mrs. Cheney (by then divorced, and legally Mamah Borthwick), her children, and four others, were murdered at Taliesin by an insane servant.

 

Continue north to @Clinger’s house. No monkey jumpers here due to side-facing ring camera. 🙁

 

Continue to ruck east on Iowa St to William G. Fricke House by FLW at 540 Fair Oaks Ave: Fricke commissioned the home in 1901, and it was finished the next year. FLW used elements in the building that would appear in his Prairie style homes: a high water table, horizontal banding, overhanging eaves, shallow hipped roofs, and an exterior with an expansive amount of stucco. Wright usually emphasized the horizontal in his house designs, but the Fricke house is different by having a three-story tower.

 

Continue to ruck south on Fair Oaks to Rollin Furbeck House by FLW at 515 Fair Oaks Ave. The house was built in 1897 for married couple Rollin and Elizabeth Furbeck, who lived there until 1899. The Furbeck House has 5k SF across three stories. The house has a cruciform layout, unlike his previous designs, which were either square or rectangular. In contrast with many of FLW’s previous designs, he experimented with vertical elements (such as the three-story center tower and octagonal columns). Wright incorporated features that he later used in other buildings, including the addition of similar design details on different stories; simple geometric shapes; a serpentine path to the front entrance; and visually-protective colonnettes in front of textured diamond-paned windows. Inside are 5 BRs and 3.5 BAs, including an attic with 2 BRs. FLW used large amounts of natural light to allow a free flow of space; woodwork was also used to create an ambient effect of warmth and coziness. He also incorporated picture windows and a massive concrete fireplace.

 

Continue south along Fair Oaks Ave, crossing Lake St. Continue south on between Pete’s Fresh Market and Tennis Club. Along a long, extended, beautiful wall, do two 40-second cycles of wall-sits and then balls-to-the-wall.

 

Continue west along alley, then south along Ridgeland to the house of beloved Pax, @Alliance. 10x monkey humpers and spell out “A-L-L-I-A-N-C-E.”
