Mary Greenlees Yerkes Residence

[1] The home was featured in a book by Patrick Cannon, titled Prairie Metropolis.

[2] Recipient of a 2002 Oak Park Historic Preservation Award,[3] the house is clad in cedar clapboards that go up to the second-floor windows and has a distinctive artist's studio that sticks out over the alleyway.

[4] The house features large overhanging eaves and a low hipped roof.

The house is based on a variation of Wright's "Fireproof House for $5000" Plan,[5] featuring square-centric massing with a central fireplace.

Tax records show the Yerkes' living in the house until 1919.
