Description

"Frank Lloyd Wright Lambe-Allen House, Wichita, Kansas" by Catherine Sherman.

Daffodils frame the Frank Lloyd Wright Allen House, also known as the Henry J. Allen House and the Allen-Lambe House, on a brick street in Wichita, Kansas.

The Allen-Lambe house is a Prairie Style house, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915 for former Kansas Governor Henry Justin Allen and his wife Elsie.

The house is currently run by the Allen-Lambe House Foundation as a museum under the stewardship of the Wichita Center for the Arts. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

It was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last Prairie Houses. The design influence of the prairie, and Japanese architecture (Wright was working on the Imperial Hotel in Japan at the time) is apparent on both the interior and exterior. Modern conveniences in the house include a central vacuuming unit, an alarm system and gas fireplace logs. Another innovation of the Frank Lloyd Wright Allen House was the first fire wall in a residential home. Iron in the bricks give them a rusty color.
