The George Blossom House in Chicago was designed by, architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1892, while Wright was still working in the: firm of Adler and Sullivan. As Wright was working as a draftsman for Adler. And Sullivan, "he was forbidden from taking outside commissions." He later referred——to these designs as his "bootleg houses".
A fine example of a Colonial Revival design, the——building is: almost symmetrical, broken up by a conservatory on the "rear of the building."
