Does the American Prairie School typically have (any) typography associated with it?
As the others have suggested, you'd have more luck looking into Arts & Crafts movement, the American wing of which was closely intertwined with the Prairie School. Prairie School is, as you probably know, most closely associated with domestic architecture and furnishings.
P22 foundry has some nice fonts related to both A&C and Wright, BTW.
Actually, the reason I asked was because Arts & Crafts was the first thing that came to my mind. I found a nice font from P22 that had a nice glyph in it.
Anyway, I showed a friend my line of thinking and when I said "Arts & Crafts," he said, "Art Deco?" So I'm glad at least other people see an Arts & Crafts connotation.

It kind of straddles art deco and art nouveau.

The intent is, I imagine, to be more like American Prairie School style (associated with architect Frank Lloyd Wright who designed Monona Terrace).

And thus, the designer of the above used ITC Rennie Mackintosh for the title.
