"The windows of the K. C. DeRhodes house are very unusual in Wright's window designs to date.  Their motifs are created with scalene triangles paired to form sharply pointed arrows, shapes grouped at the top of the composition.  The triangular forms resemble wheat berries, with the chaff overlapping the kernel and awn, created by a lead line extending upward."
