Frank lloyd Wright In Beverly Pt.2, The Raymond W. Evans Home

9914 Longwood
Beverly is a gorgeous section of Chicago about ten miles south of the loop. It has a historic district full of huge homes and has some of what is rare in Chicago elevated land. It is also home to four Frank Lloyd Wright homes one of which is perched on top of the Blue Island ridge that towers over Longwood Drive. The Evans house, built in 1908, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home is very impressive, sitting on a large tract of land with a modern sculpture in front. The original stucco coating was removed and the house recovered with artificial stone.
The block that the house is on also has some other impressive homes that we show in a companion video to this one for those that are interested. In our third clip we travel a little further north to another Wright home on Pleasant St.

This is actually the Robert W. Evans Home from 1908. The home was clad in limestone in the 1940's or early 1950's. Thanks for posting.

Definitely not a fan of the applied stone but at least the home is still intact. This makes me wonder what they may have done to the inside. Does anyone have interior shots?
