1919:
Allen-Lambe House, 255 N. Roosevelt. Designed
by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915 for journalist (and later
Kansas Governor, and even later Kansas Senator) Henry J.
Allen and his wife Elsie, who occupied it until 1947. A
later owner sadly remodeled parts of the house, and some
of the Wright-designed furniture is missing. A non-profit
organization now works to preserve and restore the house.
