Prairie School was a late 19th and early 20th century architectural style, most common to the Midwestern United States. The house style is characterized by horizontal lines, low pitched, virtually flat roofs with broad overhanging eaves, solid construction, craftsmanship, and discipline in the use of ornament, in contrast to previous 19th century house design. Horizontal lines evoke and relate to the native prairie landscape common to the midwest. It is most associated with residences around Chicago

In early times, Pueblo Indians built large, multi-family houses, which were refereed to as pueblos or Adobes (villages). In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Spanish made their own Adobe homes, but they modified the home style. They formed the adobe into sun-dried building blocks. After stacking the blocks, the Spaniards covered them with protective layers of mud. Pueblo Revival houses became popular in the early 1900s and are still a popular style in the southwestern regions of the US. These modern-day Adobes might not be made of adobe. Instead, some contemporary adobe homes are made with concrete blocks or other materials covered with adobe, stucco, plaster, or mortar.
