Hill Turnock, even by Wright himself(!), plans found at Taliesin in the 1960's establish this as a Wright design.  This is the first of the La Grange houses, bootleg houses done while Wright was still employed by the firm of Adler and Sullivan.
The exterior is in some ways related to Wright's own home in Oak Park, with the dominant front gable with a cross gable; lunette window on the third floor, and entrance between two octagonal bays
Designed when FLW worked for the firm of Adler and Sullivan.
