Heller House
Heller House Review
When he designed this house in 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright was still moving toward the mature Prairie style achieved in the Robie House 12 years later. Unlike most of his long and low designs, it has three floors. The top floor has pillars and sculptured nymphs cavorting at the top. As was common with Wright—and very uncommon then and now—the entrance to the Heller House is on the side of the structure. Near Robie House on Harper Avenue between 52nd and 53rd streets, the house is not open to the public, but while in the area stop by here as well as nearby Promontory Apartments, designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1949.
