Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1907-1912 masterpiece commissioned for philanthropists Avery and Queene Coonley is on the market. The home, located at 281 Bloomingbank Road in the western suburb of Riverside, Illinois, is priced at $1.8 million. The 6,000-square-foot “living room wing” of the original Coonley compound underwent extensive restoration in recent years.  The “bedroom wing,” separated from the main house, sold for $355,000 in 2015.
