The property's price has dropped twice since its December 2022 listing at $770,000. The repeated markdowns could be driven by the amount of work needed to restore this vintage architectural gem. The 2,064-square-foot home was built in 1898 and currently owned by the same family for 60 years. The remarkable dwelling is situated 10 miles west of Chicago, where Wright once lived and worked. George Smith House Adorned with brown cedar shake shingles, the Arts and Crafts–style home is known as the George Smith House and is "typical of Wright's work in the 1890s,' says John Waters, an architect and preservation programs manager for the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.
