Isabel Roberts House
603 Edgewood Place
River Forest, Illinois 60305-1609

Frank Lloyd Wright, 1908

A residence designed by Wright for his secretary. The original budget limited the exterior materials to stucco; in 1926 the house was clad with brick by Harry Robinson. In 1955, Wright returned to remodel the house for then-owner Warren Scott; the work included new interior woodwork, correction of some structural faults, and reorganization of some rooms. In 2000, a garage was added at the rear.
