Fountainhead (also known as the J. Willis Hughes House) is a historic house located at 306 Glenway Drive in Jackson, Mississippi.
This Usonian house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948 was built during 1950–1954 for J. Willis Hughes, who lived in it until January 1980. [2] It is on a 30-60 degree triangle, which results in a grid of equilateral parallelograms. The "bedroom wing terminates in a fountain over a pool, which gives the structure its nickname, Fountainhead." [3] The name "Fountainhead" is also a reference to Ayn Rand's novel, The Fountainhead . [2]
Its 1980 NRHP nomination asserted it was the only Frank Lloyd Wright design in Mississippi, [2] but in fact there are three other homes in Mississippi designed by Wright, in Ocean Springs.
The Hughes House has been a private residence since it was originally built and has never been open to the public. It is owned by Jackson architect Robert Parker Adams.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1980. [1]

Looking back on it in 1936, he described it as "the first 'prairie house'."

The Frank W. Thomas House is a historic house located at 210 Forest Avenue in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, United States.

The house also includes many of the features which became associated with the style, such as a low roof with broad overhangs, casement windows, built-in shelves and cabinets, ornate leaded glass windows and central hearths/fireplaces. Tallmadge & Watson, a Chicago firm that became part of the Prairie School of Architects, added an addition to the rear of the house in 1923.

The house has a centrifugal floor plan with a north–south axis and wings containing the living room and stair tower. The exterior is stucco with wood stripping, and the roof is low-pitched, both typical features of the Prairie School. The living room uses its fireplace as a focal point and has curved walls with casement windows. The house's garden space is divided by wooden screens to form courtyards, an element inspired by Japanese architecture. The house is Wright's only residential work in Kenilworth.
