| | Prairie School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Prairie School was a late 19th and early 20th century architectural style, most common to the Midwestern United States. |
 | | The style is marked by horizontal lines, flat roofs with broad overhanging eaves, solid construction, craftsmanship, and discipline in the use of ornament, in contrast to previous 19th century design. |
 | | Frank Lloyd Wright originated the Prairie Style (open plans, horizontality, natural materials) which was part of the American Arts and Crafts movement (hand craftsmanship, simplicity, function) an alternative to the then dominant Classical Revival Style (Greek forms with occasional Roman influences). |
