Architecture & history

The Sherman Booth House is a Prairie Style house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright at 265 Sylvan Road in Glencoe, IL. The house was built as the primary residence for the family of Elizabeth K and Sherman M Booth II in 1916. Sherman Booth II was an attorney at the time for Wright. The house is the largest of six Wright-designed Prairie Style homes in the Ravine Bluffs Development.

Wright had originally designed a grander vision for the Booths in 1911 (known as Scheme 1), but due to the exorbitant cost ($125,000 in 1910) and a financial downturn in the Booths fortunes, he redesigned two existing structures in the design that was built (Scheme 2).

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.
