Midwest architecture has long been a leader for the United States, dating back at least to the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and his Chicago-based mentor, Louis Sullivan, who created the skyscraper.
The Prairie School was a style of architecture that began in the Midwest in the late 1800s and then spread to acclaim worldwide.
Its residential architecture was dubbed the nation's most exciting by Architectural Digest in 2017.[1]
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 necessitated rebuilding the city afterwards, with abundant opportunities for new architectural design.
