The Postcard Challenge is back
Identify the picture. What is it? Where is it? When was it made? Who is associated with it? Why is it significant?
Contest closes Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. (unless I get an answer so amazingly good I declare a winner before then). Best answer wins, but it's got to be good...no prizes for half-baked answers. Judges decisions (that's me) are final. As usual, there will be a fabulous prize for the winner. If you've already won a prize this year, you are welcome to compete for the glory, but you can't win another prize (sorry).

Hmm... I don't know. Australia? Arts and crafts movement. Someone either lived there famous or designed it and it is now a museum. I see some kind of incorporated structure in the rear.Rose Valley Pennsylvania? Time frame 1900-18? I mean the original building...I think the second building which seems to be made in the 1920-1935 era. Perhaps one of the architects who worked on the parks and buildings near the Grand Canyon school of architecture? Or such influence moved to Canada too.
That's what I first see. I don't know where else to go with it.
I guess a masonic lodge but that's as far as I get.

It's a dwelling(house), in Illinois, itwas constructed in the last century, it was designed by Frank Loyd Wright himself, and it's his mommy's place!
STAGG
ok, I retract my way off guess. I think Stagg just won!
Muppie
I haven't got a clue!
I agree with Stagg, do I get to share his prize?
Well, Stagg has obviously been in this building, and I happen to know he's been there with me. That said, I need more detail than in his answer to award a fabulous prize. This is the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, otherwise known as the Oak Park House, in Oak Park, near Chicago. It was Wright's first home, 1889, and with its stained shingles, common brick and diamond-paned windows, was one of the first Shingle style houses in the Midwest. His use of pure geometric form is evident in the great triangular gable, the octagonal bays and the circular veranda. On the left is the studio, added in 1898.
People..seriosly..that's all I got..I feel if ya get even more detailed then it's all yours!!
A quick google found that he developed the Prairie Style while working here.
