Did you ever wonder how far stretching the Prairie School architectural movement had reached? How about walking the streets of Humacao in Puerto Rico and catching a glimpse of something that looked straight out of Frank Lloyd Wright’s portfolio? Enter, the Casa Roig Museum. Built in 1920 by notable Czech architect Antonin Nechodoma, Casa Roig was originally designed as a residence for the prominent Roig family in Humacao, in the Prairie School style. It is an outstanding example of the architectural style and is undeniably influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright.
