Milwaukee was the center of considerable activity for Wright in the 1910's, with much work going on with the preparation of the American Systems Built plans.  Another commission which Wright likely obtained as a result of his Milwaukee connections was that of the Frederick Bogk house.  Bogk was in real estate and later insurance; he entered politics in 1902.

The façade of the Bogk house, with its brick columns framing windows, capped by cast concrete ornament under broad eaves and a low pitched hipped roof suggests the influence of the Imperial Hotel in Japan, which was under construction at this time.  Wright's supervisor of construction at the site was Russell Barr Williamson; Wright would cable instructions to him for the project.

The entrance is located at the side.  The living room extends the front width of the house, with a dining room at the right rear of the living room, up a few steps.  The plan is similar to that of the fireproof house for $5,000 which appeared in Ladies Home Journal in 1907, and which was the basis for many designs by Wright and other Praire school architects.  A bedroom above the attached garage at the rear was for the maid; this extends out of the rectangular plan of the main house.
