'''Frank Lloyd Wright''' was born in 1867 and became a leading American proponent of the modern movement in architectural design. His initial practice was centered out of Oak Park, Illinois. He designed two houses in Nebraska, only one of which was built. Wright died in 1959.[[#References|[3]]]

b. This is a speculative attribution, included here ''only'' to encourage further research. Wright is known to have designed two later houses for Little (Peoria, Illinois, 1903; and Deephaven, Minnesota, 1912), and the Lincoln house bears some design similarities to an early Oak Park "bootleg" house built for George Blossom in 1892.[[#References|[6]]] For quick access to the three Wright houses, above, see "List of Frank Lloyd Wright works," ''Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia''.
