Additional Research & Sources |
On a previous visit to Mason City, Wright met the Stockmans and asked him to build a two-story, four bedroom home for them. Wright agreed, and used a previous plan he had published in the "Ladies Home Journal" entitled the "A Fireproof House for $5,000". The open-floor plan, L-shape home was completed in 1908 however, the house was sold in 1924 when George and Eleanor Stockman retired. Eleanor was an advocate of the National Womens Suffrage Association and her sister, Fannie Chaffin, worked alongside Carrie Chapman Catt as her personal secretary. |
