Mary W. Adams House

Architecture & history

The Mary W. Adams House is located at 1923 Lake Avenue in Highland Park, Illinois. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the Prairie style and built in 1905, the Adams House is a two-story home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a light stucco exterior and wooden trim that emphasizes the horizontal.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1982, as part of the Highland Park Multiple Resource Area. The Highland Park Historic Preservation Commission named it a local landmark in 2011. The current owners received the Highland Park 2012 Historic Preservation Award for Restoration.

This atlas combines the Avery architectural drawing inventory with a published building index. Individual profiles link to their references. An archive record does not, on its own, establish that a building was constructed. Unknown construction dates and missing photographs are marked explicitly; unbuilt schemes are never presented as completed buildings.

Longer reference overviews and building-index material are adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0. Each photograph has its own creator, source and reuse licence. Restricted architectural drawings are linked to their archive rather than reproduced.

Research edition: 30 October 2026. Building access and visiting arrangements can change; consult the relevant site before planning a visit.
