etween 1901 and 1913,
Walter Burley Griffin designed some 130 houses, landscapes and
buildings. He is now credited with developing the L-shaped floor
plan (which Frank Lloyd Wright took credit), the carport (which
did not see common use until the 1950s), and the first use of
reinforced concrete. Many of his homes carry the familiar design
elements of the Prairie School.Yet Griffin, true to the urging
of his mentor Louis Sullivan, developed his own style of architecture
free from the constraints of historical precedent.
