J.F. Clarke Residence |
Francis Barry Byrne's work reached full maturity with the brilliant J.F. Clarke House which featured bold and heavy massing, precise geometric shapes, and crisp, clean edges. Designed and built in 1915, the 3500 square foot home is considered one of Byrne's most important works. The interior still includes over fifty original artglass windows and French doors, restored wall stencils by Alfonso Iannelli, original light fixtures, and custom original furniture. The house was the subject of a major exhibit at the Chicago Historical Society. Prairie Architects planned the restoration of masonry and other exterior finish materials. In addition, the firm was responsible for cataloguing and coordinating the appraisal of furniture, artglass, and furnishings (1992). |
