Experience the splendor of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture and design with a private tour of his Robie house in the Hyde Park community of Chicago. This precursor to modernism is consistently recognized as one of the premier examples of 20th century architecture and led to Wright's prominence starting in Europe.
The Robie House, designed by Wright for his client Frederick C. Robie, is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. Designed in Wright's Oak Park studio in 1908 and completed in 1910, the building inspired an architectural revolution. Its sweeping horizontal lines, dramatic overhangs, stretches of art glass windows and open floor plan make it a quintessential Prairie style house. Although it was designed more than ninety years ago, the building remains a masterpiece of modern architecture.
