There are several unbuilt designs in the Wasmuth portfolio, including three modest foursquare types on one page.

I thought I had bookmarked it, I can't fine it now, but there is a participant on Wright Chat who has built a website that highlights all of Wright's unbuilt work chronologically.
Kills me that I can't find it. Will post when I do.

clydethecat mentions these illustrations; among the many treasures in Wasmuth, these "throwaways" are charming examples of design and of a drawing style Wright achieved in the early period.
Complicating shadows fearlessly enrich these exuberant line drawings, integral and convincing as an element of the design . . .

I'd be interested in knowing what, if any, design or engineering changes had to be made to meet new codes.

And interesting to see the Scully House was built...always liked that design.
