Architectural Styles of Hyde Park | HISTORY | HISTORICAL PLAQUES | ARCHITECTURAL STYLES | DESIGN GUIDELINES | Another new direction at the turn of the century, the Prairie School, grew out of the Midwest where Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture became a horizontal extension of the prairie, an integration of building and site, Cantilevered eaves and terraces with planters flowed into open spaces centered about massive fireplaces. Horizontal bands of windows, contrasting horizontal trim, low roof pitch, and geometric details were distinctive features. The Leiman House, designed in 19+16 by Tampa architect M. Leo Elliott, stands as a unique example of fully developed Prairie Style in Hyde Park. However, influence of early Prairie School work also may be found in the district.
