The David M. and Hattie Amberg House was initially designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and completed by Marion Mahony and Herman von Holst. Traveling in Europe, and otherwise preoccupied, Wright turned the project (along with all other commissions) over to von Holst and Mahony in 1909, and construction was completed in 1910.
The Amberg's were influenced in their decision to have Wright design a home for them after the construction of their daughter and son-in-law's house – the nearby, Meyer and Sophie May House.
