20. Emil Bach House
The Emil Bach House is located in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago and was designed for Emil Bach, a significant fan of Frank Lloyd Wright's work in 1915. It is noteworthy for being a powerful example of Wright's late Prairie style and a show of his imagination shortly before his architectural style changed.
The Emil Bach House is one of Wright's geometric houses, a two-story single-family residence roughly 2,700 square feet. The only one of its sort left standing in Chicago is this cubic home with a flat, overhanging roof. Considering it as a country home because residents could view Lake Michigan from its rear facade. The house gradually became surrounded by apartments and commercial buildings as the neighborhood shifted. Now a Chicago Landmark, the Emil Bach House is on the National Register of Historic Places.
