The so-called Halston House (#6) is, either deliberately or not, a variation on FLW's townhouse project for himself and Mamah on Goethe Street, near the Charnley House.
The problem with townhouses squeezed on narrow lots between neighbors on either side, measuring from as little as 8'7" interior width (Edna St. Vincent Millay House in Greenwich Village, NY) on up, is that the centers between street and back yard tend to be dark, having little or no access to sunlight.
FLW solved the problem by locating the principal 2-story living room at the center with skylights flooding the area with light. So too the Halston House. It's a marvel by an underappreciated master.
