Winter View of Arthur B. Heurtley House 318 Forest Avenue

Besides its highly compact form, the house is especially distingushed by its variegated brickwork which gives to the lower walls an organic roughness of texture and vibrancy of color that effectively relates the house to its natural surroundings. By continuing the brickwork to the south of the house (right side of photo) as a low wall, Wright further emphasized this intended organic embrace of house and grounds. View Interior Space or Go Back.
