The main house, built around 1880 was designed in a traditional French style; with its 20-foot ceilings and generous expanses of oak paneling offset by decorative elements - chinoiserie was a favorite - it can also be seen as a precursor to the Prairie style of architecture advanced by Frank Lloyd Wright around the turn of the century. La Oriental is surrounded by a forest of specimen trees and wildflowers extending over 35 acres in the midst of 2500 acres of farm and pasture lands. .
