The American System-Built Homes were modest houses designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. They were developed between 1911 and 1917 to fulfill his interest in affordable housing. Wright was devoted to the idea of providing beautiful yet affordable homes to the public. The Wright archives include 973 drawings and hundreds of reference materials, the largest collection of any of Wright's projects. Wright cancelled the program in 1917 by successfully suing his partner, Arthur Richards, for payments due and didn't speak of the program again. The designs were standardized, and customers could choose from one hundred and twenty nine models on seven floorpans. Because of this standardization, the lumber could be milled at a factory, thereby cutting down on both waste and the amount of skilled labor needed for construction. The buildings are often termed prefabricated homes, but they were not, since the lumber was milled to shapes at the factory, packaged along with all other components, and delivered to the work site for construction. Every milled profile had a part number and corresponding instructions and drawings for the carpenter. Some are located in a federal historic district in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and others have been designated Chicago Landmarks in Chicago, Illinois.
