It shows his effort to develop a style derived from, yet independent of, his master Frank Lloyd Wright. It is described as an early but mature work of considerable aesthetic merit.","narrative":"Built in 1910 at 1024 Judson Avenue in Evanston, this two-story house of brick, stucco and wood was designed by architect Walter Burley Griffin for the Carter family. A building permit dated February 9, 1910 put the cost at $8,000. The house sits across the width of a 100-by-190-foot lot, with a plan organized around a central brick fireplace core and a consistent trim height that unifies the interior and exterior. Griffin used open gables, projecting masses, receding volumes and a combination of brick, stucco and dark half-timber trim. The house is considered an excellent specimen of his early modern work, reflecting his effort to develop a style distinct from that of his master, Frank Lloyd Wright. It has come down with few major alterations. The porch, enclosed in 1915, was restored to its original design in 1970, and the house remains a private residence. Its plans were published in 1911, and Griffin's presentation drawing is held at Northwestern University.","period_of_significance":"20th Century (specific date 1910)","architect_builder":"Walter Burley Griffin, architect","architectural_style":"Prairie School / early modern style","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; rehabilitation was under way, with the porch restored to its original design in 1970.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:35.761368-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/60/8920/28892060/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/74000758.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74000758/c2452fb260-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74000758/c2452fb260-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Richard Nickel — HABS photographer.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frederick_B_Carter,_Jr._House,_1024_Judson_Street,_Evanston_(Cook_County,_Illinois).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Richard Nickel — HABS photographer.</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frederick_B_Carter,_Jr._House,_1024_Judson_Street,_Evanston_(Cook_County,_Illinois).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28892060","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_B._Carter_Jr._House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19876919"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/cook-county/carter-frederick-b-jr-house-74000758/"}
