William Drummond started working as a young architect side by side with Frank Lloyd Wright in Louis Sullivan's Chicago office. When Wright started his own office Drummond worked for Wright on many of his most important Prairie homes. Eventually Drummond started his own practice and in 1913 built this house for himself. It's a remarkably compact and efficient plan, minimizing circulation space and packing a surprising number of rooms into a small footprint while still providing the flowing space and vistas that characterize the Prairie Style.
