Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Frederick C. Robie, the Robie House is considered to be the most famous and influential of all of Wright's buildings and homes. The house is a typical example of architectural design known as "Prairie School," characterized by horizontal proportions, flat brick or stucco walls (often outlined with wooden strips of contrasting color), windows with abstract/geometric ornament, and hip or gable roofs with wide, overhanging eaves.
The design of the home was a drastic change in the architectural trends of the time of its 1909 construction; this change brought about a turning point in architectural design.
Feel like taking a trip to see something beautiful and historic, if so, then you need to go on one of the Public tours of Wright's Robie House located at 5757 S.
