ARCHITECT: FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT (1909-10)
Frank Lloyd Wright's Frederick C. Robie House is a National Historic Landmark on the campus of the University of Chicago in Hyde Park.
It is considered one of the finest examples of the Prairie School of architecture.
We visited it in 2011 but could not get tickets for the interior tour.
Still, this is one of my favorite FLW residential designs.
