Early in the 1920's a group of architects
developed the Prairie style of architecture. The most popular among
them was the well-known Frank Lloyd Wright. Prairie style homes are
simplistic in their square design. Boxed shapes at varying heights
and depths give the home a unique form. One of the characteristics
that are most obvious with the Prairie style house plans are the shallow
pitched hip roofs with large overhangs. The large overhangs protect
the home's interior from direct sunlight; large casement windows however
provide plenty of daylight for a comfortable interior.
