The Gilmore House (1908), located at 120 Ely Place in Madison, Wisconsin, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Called the "Airplane House," it illustrates the essence of the Prairie School of architecture. The strong feeling of horizontality is given by sweeping eaves; banded, leaded casement windows; horizontal wood trim; and site placement. Wright, the most outspoken of the Prairie architects, designed this house for attorney Eugene A. Gilmore at a time when prevailing architectural forms were derived from historical styles.›
