Frank Lloyd
Wright Home and Studio, 951 Chicago Avenue, Oak
Park, IL - Frank Lloyd Wright - 1889-1909
|
|
Frank Lloyd
Wright designed and built his home and studio in Oak
Park which served as his primary residence from
1889-1909. During those twenty years he and his first
wife Katherine (Kitty Tobin) Wright raised their six
children. Wright expanded the home in 1895 to
accommodate his growing family and then added his studio
in 1898 to house his prosperous and growing
architectural practice. The property was taken over and
renovated by the Frank
Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust who offer public,
private and specialty tours of the building as well as
walking tours of the neighborhood which features some of
his most famous works. As a certified
docent/interpreter and researcher for the Trust, I serve
as a volunteer guide for these tours. |
