Prairie school house

The Prairie School were related to the American Arts and Crafts movement (hand craftsmanship, simplicity, function),

The Prairie School were an alternative to the then-dominant Classical Revival Style (Greek forms with occasional Roman influences)

n turn, the Prairie School architects influenced subsequent architectural idioms, particularly the Minimalists (less is more) and Bauhaus (form follows function), which was a mixture of De Stijl (grid-based design) and Constructivism
