Michael J. Week 2 - Prairie Chicken House

This is the Greene residence or the "Prairie Chicken House" in Norman, Oklahoma.  The house was designed and built by Herb Greene in 1961.  When I was a child I would pass by this interesting house on the way to my grandparents.  I often thought to myself "what in the world happened to that house?"  Was it hit by a tornado?  Did someone not know what they were doing when they built it?  I remember wishing I could explore it more closely in detail.  It wasn't until much later in life that I discovered its significance.  The house is actually a piece of art.  Every feature of the house represents a particular aspect of the prairie.  Such as, the exterior of the house reflecting the windblown erosion of the plains.  I have only seen pictures of the interior, but it appears just as interesting as the exterior. I would like to someday see the interior in person.
