Eugene A. Gilmore Residence

The "Airplane House", so named because of the wide overhangs and the prow on the front, does not appear as low and wide as many of Wright's other prairie houses. Storrer makes note of additions made after 1928 including a service wing in the rear and a three-car garage. 

You can see the white highlights from the art glass windows
even in this low resolution photograph.
