    Fire place in winslow house is at raised level and is emphasised by the crafted columns in the enclosure. IT is the heart of the house.

    The strong identification with Wrights ideals on family, values, and architecture, and especially with his belief in the centrality of the hearth in a home can be seen in his designs. The living rooms and play areas had fireplaces as focal points and/or major design elements.
