The William H. Winslow Residence, 515 Auvergne Place, was built in 1893. Designed for the publisher of House Beautiful, the Winslow Residence was Wright's first independent commission after leaving the employment of Adler & Sullivan and is constructed of brick with stone and plaster. This house has been designated by the American Institute of Architects as one of seventeen buildings designed by Wright to be retained as an example of his architectural contribution to American culture.
