Willis A. Bugbee commissioned South Bend architect Ernest Young to design this Prairie Style home (purposely reproducing Frank Lloyd Wright's style) for his daughter and son-in law, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hale. The home was built in 1915 and located at 314 W. Marion. To save it from demolition, it was moved to 820 W. Colfax in 1978 by the combined efforts of Jan and Lee Barnhart and the South Bend Heritage Foundation. Young expertly emulated Wright's philosophy by making the house and the landscape blend together. This was done by creating horizontal planes from the low pitched roof, wide eave overhangs, and long rows of windows.
