This particular example of the "Prairie School" st�le of architecture is largely the product of the unique design ability of G�orge Elmslie. It was con�tructed in 1912 for Mr. John Leuthold and is ref rred to in the original house plans as the Leuthold House. Dr. Ward Beebe marr�ed John Leuthold's daughter and the home was apparently a wedding gift from tl�e Leutholds, a wealthy German family from southern Minnesota. The home cost $9,00� to build. William G. Purcell' notebook for the year 1912 states that the Beebes "were very appreciative c�ients, and the house turned out to be a charming affair. It is a re-transcription of the Oscar Owre House (at 2625 Newton Street in Minneapolis) and islan undated contemporary residence today. One of the unique features of the pla� is the tiny Iibrary-sitCing-room with bay windows and built- in furniture on the second floor...(Situated on Suomnit Avenue) the usual corner windows looking botl� ways from the living roonn were accepted as a fine response towards a choice and expensive location." Purcell and Elmslie'�s work was typified by the design of inexpensive houses for small city lots '(The Beebe House lot is 200' x 50'). Essential, therefore, was a si.mplicity in massing, a corresponding compactness of plan (without sug- gesting constrictior�), and the use of inexpensive materials. The Prairie School's founder and guiding light was Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright ' used broad, horizont 1 lines to echo the spirit of the mid-west prairies and inspire a revolution�in American architecture. The dispoaition of the simple mass or composite maissing, the shape of the low, long-hipped or gable roof, the horizontal banding oif windows, the emphatic belt course or shelf roof between storeys-which often icontinued on one side as a lateral porch-and the broad, often foward-set fou�dation upon which the building was securely placed all con- tributed to this uni�puely American style of design. The historical styles, as commonly known, werelrejected. The continuity of line, edge, and surface--an in- heritance from the S�ingle Style - lent horizontal unity to the design, and against these horizo tals, a spirited interplay was established with ahort vertical accents, such as pieks, mullions, and subsidiary masses. The Beebe House exemp- lifies the best of w�at the Prairie School had to offer. William Gray Purcell (1880-1965) was raised in Oak Park, Illinois and became interested in the wo�k of Frank Lloyd Wright, a close and well-known neighbor. He obtained his degr�e in architecture from Cornell University. George Grant I I ' ,I . � � . , ; , �, � i SAINT PAUL IfRITAGE PRESERNATIqV 0�'MISSIaV ; SITE Nd''IINATIaV FORM � , VII NIIRRATIVE: HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE OF SITE '� continued page -2- � Elmslie (1871-1952) 'was born near Huntley, Scotland, and im¢nigrated to the United States in 18�4 with his parents. In 1887 he met Frank Lloyd Wright which resulted in Wright'fi recomm�ending him to Louis Sullivan, and for nearly 20 years Elmslie stayed with,Sullivan as a designer. Purcel� had also worked with Sulli- van for a period oflfive months, long enough to establish a lasting friendship with Elmslie. After Purcell and h�s former classmate George Feick, Jr. (1881-1945), an engineer, had foxvned a partne ship, Elmslie joined them in 1909. The firm then established offices in Minneapo�is and Chicago. The firm became the most active and productive within the Prairie �chool. Together P & E (as they called themselves) produced, among other things, more bank buildings than Wright and Sullivan combined. They executed over. 70 co�nissions in a decade and prepared innutaerable other uarealized designs. In 1922 P�rcell and Elmslie ended their collaboratioa. Elmslie was a brilli�ant designer, but he did not work well alone. He neaded a thoughtful, intellec,tual co-partner-in-design. First it was Sullivan who provided the�needed assistande in formulating and keeping sight of the basic design ideas, but it was not until he combined hfs talents with those of Purcell that the real flowering of Elmsliel's design genius Qccurred. The Ward Beebe Houselwas one of their most successful designs. The plan of the home was organized w3th the first floor living room (approximately one half the floor plan) and the �lining room set at right angles--an L-shaped arrangement with no partition in' between. A common exterior wall (with a row of leaded glass windows) unite� these rooms, and because each seems to participate in the area of the other, a#� added sense of spaciousness is achieved. Next to the dining room is the k�tchen. The Beebe House with its cross-gabled roof and windows arranged sym�lnetrically under the strong inverted "v" of the gables, has somewhat the charact�r of an English c�ttage, but without the historic detailing. The house is locatediat 2022 Summit Avenue on a narrow, wooded lot at the inter- section of the south�rn terminus of Wilder Street with Summnit Avenue in Saint Paul. It is two sto�eys in height, capped with a deeply sweeping, wide-eaved gabled roof. The entire wall surfaces are sheathed in pigmented stucco; the original roof is sti�.l on and composed of creosote-treated shinglea secured with pure zinc nails as s�ecified in the original plans. Window and door aurrounds and casements are of Ioak and cypress which is oiled and stained a very dark color. The exterior stucco �ras painted white and the wood trim dark. This destroyed the intended harmonious c�olor scheme of the exterior surfaces as described in the original drawing andlhas the unfortunate effect of making the windows and their casements look like c�ark holes against the white walls. �I , _ -- ._ . _ . j � �. , i �AIKT PAUL ffRITAGE PI�SfA1lATIaV G�'MISSI�I i SIIE Na'IINATIq�I FOf�I VII WARRATlVE: HIS�ORY AND SIGNiFICANCE OF SITE continued page -3- � The Summit Avenue fac�de (north) is incorpprated within the main $able. Windows on this facade are ar anged in horizontal bands of narrow, vertical casements. Those on the first st�rey are shielded• by diminutive cornices and wrap arvund each corner to create'an unbroken perspective view from within. The windows on the second storey are ',centrally placed within the facade and comprise a band of six narrow casements. l Directly above ia a semi-circular arched window marking the third or attic stc�rey. The ,main entry way, as a transition between the north and east facades, is ocated within a small "L" in the northeast corner of the home. An elaborate El�mslie sawnwood bracket is affixed to the corner of the "L" immediately to the leflt of the doorway. On the east facade thelfirst floor containa an entry way with a horizontal band of three small le�ded glass windows immediately to the right. The second storey has a duplicateiof the second storey north facade in ita band of leaded casement windows. The�, east facade is covered by a large cross-gable complete with a small dormer anji the characteristic wide eaves. The west facade is ess�ntially symmetrical in arrangement with a three-part window grouping incorpprated within the small cross-gable at the second storey, the center window of t�e grouping is an oriel which opens onto a small balcony. The first storey has al, low, open porch with a broad-eaved, gently pitched, hipped roof. To the rear (so�th) is an attached two-car garage with a small sleeping porch above that opens 'from the master bedroom on the second storey. The iron grillwork on the front steps above the sidewalk was added in 1958 by the former owners who have recentl',y sold the house to Mr. and Mrs. David Anderson. The house is in an exce�llent state of repair and preservation. It has not been outmoded by changes in fashion or in building technology. It remains as Purcell obsarved "an undated cojntemporary residence" and a throughly charming affair.
