In 1900 Edward Bok of the Curtis Publishing Company, bent on improving American homes, invited architects to publish designs in the "Ladies' Home Journal", the plans of which readers could purchase for five dollars. Subsequently, the Wright design ""A Home in a Prairie Town"" was published in February 1901 and first introduced the term "Prairie Home". The Martin House, designed in 1903, bears a striking resemblance to that design. The facades are almost identical, except for the front entrance, and the Martin House repeats most of the "Journal" House ground floor. An awkward failure was no direct connection from the kitchen to the dining room. The "Journal" House had a serving pantry, but Wright was forced to give this up to accommodate the pergola.
