Frederick C. Robie House

FREE admission to the Robie House with the Go Chicago Card or as a choice with the Chicago Explorer Pass

Description

The Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd 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 is both a masterpiece of the Prairie style and renowned as a forerunner of modernism in architecture. Tours of the site offer both a first-hand experience of its amazingly contemporary spaces and the current restoration work that is returning the house to its original appearance.

Note:

Guided museum tours and self-guided audio neighborhood walks are available.
