I recently had the pleasure of taking the Wright Plus Tours in the Oak Park Suburb of Chicago. I am currently designing a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home in Houston and considered this a perfect opportunity to see some of the detail first hand. As a member of the the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust – myself, my client, and the builder for whom I was creating a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design made the voyage.
With perfect high 60’s weather, we visited nine beautiful private homes in Oak Park and three public buildings designed by Wright. The architects represented in the walk and featured in the pictures below are:
- Frank Lloyd Wright
- E. E. Roberts
- H. G. Fiddelke
- John Van Bergen
- George O. Garnsey
- Leon Stanhope
– By Kathleen Carpenter
