Frederick C. Robie House

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright once described this Hyde Park home as "a cornerstone of modern architecture," and it still lives up to the self-imposed reputation. Though it fell into disrepair and was slated for demolition on more than one occasion, it was one of the last buildings conceived in Wright’s suburban Oak Park studio and is considered a prime example of his iconic Prairie style. The Frank Lloyd Wright Trust's guided tour will take you inside the classic structure, where you can admire the original art glass accents, restored furniture and a fireplace that divides the home's living and dining areas.
