The Edmund D. Brigham House is a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright at 790 Sheridan Road in Glencoe, Illinois. Wright designed the house circa 1908 for Edmund D. Brigham, a freight agent for the Chicago & North Western Railway, and it was completed the following year. Wright's design is a variation of the one in his article "A Fireproof House for $5000", a concrete home design which he published in the Ladies' Home Journal in 1907. While the Brigham House was the only one of Wright's Fireproof House for $5000 designs actually built with concrete, he would continue to work and experiment with the material throughout his career. The house's Prairie School plan has a central two-story section with one-story wings on either side, several rows of casement windows, and large piers at the corners of the central section and the middle of each wing.
