Farson, John, House - View this location on map The John Farson House is one of the earliest and most distinguished examples of the Prairie School designed just as that regional expression of the Arts and Crafts movement was taking form in the Midwest. It is the earliest surviving Prairie School house in which the building and its interiors were carefully integrated according to an ornamental scheme, which the designer, George Maher, called motif rhythm theory. The house is the finest surviving example of George Maher's work. 217 Home Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois Historical
