Located in Rockford, IL, the Graham Ginestra House is a stunning example of the Prairie School architectural style. Built in 1909 by Frank Lloyd Wright, this house features a low-pitched roof, horizontal lines, and an emphasis on natural materials such as wood and stone.

The house measures 2,300 square feet and features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open floor plan that allows for plenty of natural light. The interior is decorated with original furniture designed by Wright, including built-in bookcases and cabinets.

One of the most unique features of the Graham Ginestra House is the use of stained glass windows, which can be found throughout the house. These windows were designed by Wright and feature geometric patterns that complement the overall design of the house.

The house also features a large porch that wraps around the front and side of the house, providing ample outdoor living space. The porch is supported by large, tapered columns that are characteristic of the Prairie School style.

Today, the Graham Ginestra House is a designated historic landmark and is open to the public for tours. It is considered one of the finest examples of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School architecture and is a must-see for architecture enthusiasts.
