Orange trim. This style of porch with the concrete block "piers" with topped with tapered wood pillars and a knee wall is very typical of Peoria; I think it's a cross-pollination of traditional Federal/Victorian porch styles with the Prairie style of Frank Lloyd Wright. Since Sullivan and Wright were Chicagoans, you see a surprising amount of Prairie style influences in vernacular and folk buildings in Peoria; I find it very characteristic of the region and I think it's interesting to see such a strong regional influence so late in the manufactured home and national media phase of American folk architecture. #peoria #southpeoria #rainbowhouses #houses #folkarchitecture #prairiestyle #franklloydwright #frontporch #porchlife
