Robie House - You Are Here
Oak Park, Illinois (15 miles from the Robie House)
The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois was Wright’s personal residence and office from 1889-1909. While the home’s peaked rooflines predate the horizontal planes of Wright’s famous prairie style, it was here that he began to germinate his big ideas about a new American architecture.
Oak Park also has the world’s largest collection of buildings designed by Wright, many of which you can view on guided or self-guided tours.

The Rookery (8 miles from the Robie House)
Although the building itself was designed by another architect, Frank Lloyd Wright made a unique contribution to the design of the Rookery, a stunning 1888 building in Chicago’s Loop: he remodeled the building’s central light court in the lobby in 1905. A Frank Lloyd Wright bookshop is located in the lobby.
