View looking west from Euclid Avenue |
At the rear of the lot on which the main Roberts House sits, was a dwelling built or remodeled by Wright about 1896 as the Roberts Stable. This structure was moved in 1929 to its present location beside the main house by Roberts' son-in-law, the noted architect Charles E. White Jr., who remodeled it into a residence. |
View from Euclid Avenue in Summer |
The Roberts Stable House is best viewed from the street in winter or early spring, as the lush trees and bushes obscure the house, as seen at left. |
