The Conservancy wishes to thank all who participated by writing letters or calling with creative suggestions and contacts to help bring a happy ending to this near disaster. House Description Located at 200 Thornapple, in Bannockburn, IL on four beautiful acres thoughtfully and meticulously landscaped in a natural prairie state. Mature and new oak trees and indigenous grasses and flowers create an unparalleled setting and gorgeous views in every direction. In this unique Usonian Y-shaped structure, Wright's use of the triangle prevails, from the light fixtures to the perforated clerestory window panels, to the copper trim that encircles the roof line and accents the rear arbor. This design emphasizes the importance of the public rooms.
Spendid views bring the outdoors in.
The kitchen has a Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer, abundant mahogany cabinetry, double ovens, and a unique lighted skylight. The master bedroom also includes a dressing room with a built-in vanity table, along with doors to the rear property. All of the baths are the original tile baths and feature mahogany vanities and walls. Heavily wooded and tranquil, the quality of life enjoyed by its citizens is unique to this exclusive suburb. Many of the homes are situated on lots of 4 acres or more, and, like the Friedman property, are also zoned for horses.
