A historic Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home on Chicago's West Side is set for a major restoration. The J.J. Walser House, built in 1903, has been in disrepair and was recently purchased by the nonprofit Austin Coming Together. The group announced Wednesday that they plan to undertake a multimillion-dollar renovation. The house became a city landmark in 1984 but faced foreclosure after its longtime owner died in 2019. The nonprofit aims to stabilize and preserve the home, which has significant structural damage. They view it as a cultural asset for the community and are fundraising for the restoration.
