The Westcott House is a singularly impressive showpiece of Wright’s now-famous Prairie Style — a good reason that the Westcott House is considered one of the best tourist attractions in Ohio. The Prairie Style is an architectural design Wright developed over nearly two decades to reflect the long, low horizontal Midwest prairie. The style features low-pitched roofs, long rows of casement windows, an abundance of horizontal lines, deep overhangs and rectilinear profiles. In addition to these attributes, the Westcott House also exhibits a unique pergola connecting a detached garage to the main home, a Prairie Style element found in only a few other Wright-designed houses.
