The Dana House in Springfield, Illinois is one of the best preserved and most complete examples of Wright's early Prairie style houses. One of the most striking features is the elaborate use of ornamental art glass throughout the house. Visitors are greeted at the main entrance by an intricate butterfly arch over the exterior door and again over the interior door on the other side of the vestibule. The butterfly wreath, or transom articulates the stretched wings of the butterfly in geometric panes of gold, green and brown. The butterfly motif may have been derived from the nine butterflies on the marble mantel in the Victorian sitting room. Perhaps the inspiration came from Wright's own interest in flight. The design is repeated in the five chandeliers of the dining room and gallery and again on several doors.
