Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio

"The evolution of an architect is on vivid display during well-run tours that bring visitors into the home, studio and mindset of Frank Lloyd Wright. Nearby are a slew of Wright-designed homes easily walkable (walking and audio tours are available) and many are opened to the public during the Wright Plus Housewalk." - Julie Shumacher & Brett Burwell

"A native Midwesterner, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Chicago work is easily accessible for architecture nerds in search of inspiration, especially in the Oak Park neighborhood. This is where you’ll find Wright’s own former home and studio, designed when he was just twenty-two years old. While you could happily amble about the leafy streets and see the Robie House and the Harry S. Adams House—two of the most well-known Wright-conceived homes in the area—it’s really his own home place that makes the best starting point. You’ll see features, like his obsession with horizontal lines, cantilevering, and inglenook fireplaces, that would become Wright’s signature in his later projects. It’s a fascinating history lesson to walk through his early experimental, trial-and-error canvas. "

"Designed, worked, and lived in by one of the biggest names in American architecture, the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio preserves the Prairie School founder's original architectural studio and his adjacent home where he experimented with early ideas. Wright designed the buildings and filled them with his own furniture designs, too, a marriage that offers a comprehensive look at Wright's insistence on design integrity." - Elaine Glusac
