Sharing offices with Frank Lloyd Wright, in Chicago, he got the plum commission to design Daisy Orendorff and her husband U.G.'s new house. Spencer had a knack for combining the best of the Prairie Style, a free flowing, horizontal flow of plan, with more traditional decorative elements. He was also very skillful at combining natural materials. The Orendorff house, with its brick ground floor, half-timber upper floor, rhythmic windows and bold gables stands as a masterpiece in Spencer's work. This extensive set of 13 drawing sheets includes a cover sheet, a site plan, 4 floor plans, 4 elevations, 1 highly informative section and 2 sheets of Prairie Style leaded glass window designs. As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, the plans offer an excellent starting point. In addition to two principal floors, this house has a full basement and habitable attic. The first floor entry hall includes a small sitting room and half-bath. To one side is a spacious living room with a semi-circular bay window. To the other side is a formal dining room, sun room, and kitchen wing. The second floor contains 5 bedrooms and 2 baths. This floor could easily be adapted for other arrangements of bedrooms and baths. Although suited for a flat site, this house could work on a moderately sloping site as well. It would be ideal in a spacious suburban or country setting. Including porches, this house has outside dimensions of approximately 68'x118'. Please visit my other auctions for many other drawings I am offering. I have house plans in wide variety of styles including Colonial, Craftsman, and Prairie, as well as plans of architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Irving Gill, Purcell & Elmslie and others.
