Visiting Chicago



There is no doubt that Frank Lloyd Wright is one of America's most well known architect of the past 100 years.  Since we visited Taliesin in Wisconsin a few weeks ago, we had to see his home and studio in the Oak Park area of Chicago





The Oak Park home of Frank Lloyd Wright where it all began... a look at modern architecture that was unique to the period... very similar design to Taliesin. 





The entry to the house shared with his first wife and six children

The opinions of this architect who not only designs structures but the furniture and art that surrounds and is encased in these dwelling are of a love hate variety
