What To Expect

Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio

In 1889 Wright completed the construction of a small two-story residence in Oak Park on the Western edges of Chicago. The building was the first over which Wright exerted complete artistic control. Designed as a home for his family, the Oak Park residence was a site of experimentation for the young architect during the twenty-year period he lived there. Wright revised the design of the building multiple times, continually refining ideas that would shape his work for decades to come.

This is the real deal on a Frank Lloyd Wright Experience. It is nestled practically in the heart of downtown Oak Park IL. The guides are amazing. The home and studio take you right back to his roots and rather further complicated subsequent future. You going to have to climb a few stairs, but, not too many. It is cool. Don't go too crazy in the gift store, as I always do.

I grew up in Oak Park but moved away after HS. All the time living there I never went on this tour. I finally did and loved every minute of it. FLW was a genius and this place is super cool. It's well worth a visit.

If you only have the opportunity to visit a Frank Lloyd Writgh play in Chicago that is this. The house is in excellent condition, with all its furnishings and has expert guides who help you understand the design, the principles of the operation of the house and the studio and the time when it was built. This design included the maximum technological advances of the late nineteenth century, and represented a way of spreading the new American architecture that would so impact the twentieth century. It is an admirable construction in a very nice neighborhood almost an hour away from downtown Chicago. It can be accessed by metro or bus. It is definitely advisable to do it by subway as it is faster and the blue line is a much cleaner and safer outer line than the rest of the Chicago subway. If you like the design the architecture do not miss it.
