The Ward W. Willits House in Highland Park (1901). Willits was the vice president of the Adams & Westlake Company, which produced brass products. He was probably introduced to Wright through his employee Orlando Giannini, who previously had produced art glass for Wright. Willits and his wife would join Wright on a trip to Japan in 1905. Willits lived here until his death in 1951 at age 92.‹›
