Our docent Meg was amazing for our Frank Lloyd Wright neighborhood tour in Oak Park! She was prompt in arriving at our meeting spot, welcoming, easy to talk with and so knowledgeable about the houses we were seeing. She showed us the special characteristics of each house and tied them all together. We never felt rushed and we managed to see all ten houses and finish up just in time.

Great guided tour of early FLW homes in Oak Park, including some this architect had never seen before. Walk was not long or hard but included about eight homes.
