205 Essex Road is Kenilworth’s only residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Built for Hiram and Agnes Baldwin, the home fully embodies the Prairie style. 205 Essex Road has a strong horizontal emphasis with its low-pitched hipped roof, flat overhanging eaves, exterior wood stripping, and bands of casement windows. One signature Wright feature showcased in the home is the concealed entrance. In 1983, the home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
