The Moulton House was designed by Prairie School architect Walter Burley Griffin in 1908. Griffin had worked for architect Frank Lloyd Wright for five years as his chief associate before he established his own practice in 1906. J. Benjamin Moulton, an auditor, commissioned Griffin to design this home and it was built by contractors Henry Beutler and Evan D. Evans at a cost of $6,000.
The house is a perfect example of Prairie School architecture -- a horizontally-oriented design with wide, projecting eaves that cantilever out from the body of the house, ribbons of casement windows that are a part of the walls, a low-pitched, pyramidal roof, and a low, substantial, yet simple chimney.
