Frank Lloyd Wright Gem (1908)

The Meyer May House in Grand Rapids, Michigan is one of the finest restorations I've seen. In 1985, Steelcase, Inc., office furniture manufacturer, purchased the house and faithfully restored it (apparently with unlimited budget) to its 1908 new house condition, using original furnishings where possible, and making meticulously precise reproductions of others.

 

When Frank Lloyd designed a house, he also insisted on designing all furnishings, so everything reflects his style.

 

This type of horizontal layering is termed the "Prairie Style" architecture.
