    The Walter Gale House stands as one of Frank Lloyd Wright's earliest post-Adler and Sullivan designs, dating back to 1893. Its façade features a distinctive large circular turret, counterbalanced by a narrow angular dormer. Echoing elements from Wright's 1893 William Winslow house, the Walter Gale House showcases the architect's visionary approach, making it a captivating testament to his evolving style and innovation.
