The early modern home at 5017 Swiss Avenue expresses the architectural influence of Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan. The carved band of Sullivanesque detail, the Sullivanesque relief ornamentation on the dormer,under the deep eaves, and on the panel between the second story windows are outstanding examples of the Progressive Style and Prairie School architecture.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie Style was pervasive through the Midwest and Texas not only because of his architectural inspiration, but because many of his plans were published in magazines, plan books and even home construction kits.

Horizontal banks of tall double-hung windows across the front of the home allow natural light to illuminate the four-bedroom, three and one-half bath Munger Place Historic District home. The front porch roof shields the home from the harsh midday sun.
