If you simply need an address to punch into your GPS, a good place to start is the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, located at: 951 Chicago Ave., Oak Park IL, 60302. Driving Directions: The highway that will take you to Oak Park is Interstate 290. From the Chicago Loop, you will take 290 East, and exit at Harlem Avenue (note: the exit for Harlem Avenue will be on the left side of the highway in the direction you are driving, in the center of the eastbound and westbound lanes). After you exit 290 East, make a right (north) on Harlem Avenue. Drive 1.4 miles north to Chicago Avenue, and make a right (east) on Chicago Avenue.

Train Directions: From the Chicago Loop, take the Green Line elevated train toward Harlem. You can access the Green Line from any station in the Chicago Loop. The Green Line train (the “el”) will say “Harlem” on the outside of the train. The Green Line runs counterclockwise around the Chicago Loop before heading west toward Harlem. Exit at the “Oak Park” station. Once you exit the train, you will be on the south side of the train tracks –walk under the train tracks via the underpass at Oak Park Avenue, which is just outside of the train station. Continue north on Oak Park Avenue (you are now in downtown Oak Park, and the first major intersection you will approach and cross is Lake Street), make a left (west) on Chicago Avenue, which is about half a mile north of the “Oak Park” elevated train station. Once you turn left on Chicago Avenue, continue past Kenilworth Avenue until you reach the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio at 951 Chicago Avenue in Oak Park. The complex will be on your left hand side. Taxi: Taxis are readily available in downtown Chicago, and a taxi to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio will cost about $30-$35.

One of the nation’s first suburbs to develop, Oak Park boasts a priceless collection of historic and modern architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright is the most well known architect to have touched this suburban retreat, though he was certainly not the only one. Among Wright’s contemporaries represented in Oak Park are Burnham & Root, Walter Burley Griffin, George Maher, John S Van Bergen, Eben Ezra Roberts, and others. Oak Park was first settled in the mid 1830’s, and grew slowly until the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, at which point Oak Park became heavily populated as displaced Chicagoans moved west. What is now the Village of Oak Park was originally an area in Cicero Township, until 1902 when it became its own municipality. At the time of Frank Lloyd Wright’s arrival in Oak Park in 1889, the town was still steadily developing. Oak Park had most of the modern amenities that a satellite town would have needed back then, most importantly a train line. There is a plethora of Victorian Queen Anne’s strewn about the town, particularly in the area south of Augusta Street, between Austin and Harlem Avenues. Oak Park’s early Twentieth Century architecture truly offers a one-of-a-kind case study of the Prairie School of Architecture. Pioneered by Wright, the Prairie School was the first example of an American domestic architecture, not derived from European and Classical architectures. To explain in brevity the physical characteristics of a Prairie School house, they are a symbolic representation, in execution, of the natural terrain of the Midwest: typically long, flat, and horizontal. Frank Lloyd Wright’s theory on Organic Architecture centered on the idea that a building should grace the landscape instead of disgrace it. The spatial properties and layout of the Prairie houses offered new ways of living in the modern, industrial world with the nuclear family in mind. Today, Oak Park has the honor, and responsibility, of holding the greatest concentration of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed structures in the world. As you visit Oak Park, enjoy all that this spectacular architectural museum has to offer. Downtown Oak Park features a variety of small, local shops and charming restaurants. As you view the collection of houses listed in this guide, please be respectful of the property homeowners and their privacy. Keep in mind that unless otherwise noted, all houses are privately owned, and it is inappropriate to approach the houses beyond the sidewalks. 7 Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, 1889/1898 Frank Lloyd Wright Home Frank Lloyd Wright Home 428 Forest Avenue Oak Park, IL 60302 Accessibility: Open for tourism Rating: Tours of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio are offered daily by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust, except on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Tickets are required for entry. For tickets and information, visit: gowright.org or call (312) 994-4000 The first house that Wright ever created was his own home in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park. Built in 1889, the young architect was only twenty-two years old when he designed his Shingle style abode. Visitors are commonly taken aback by the appearance of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home, often expecting a house with a low profile, and long, horizontal lines, but it would be more than a decade before Wright would develop his first mature Prairie house. The general massing and planning of the house contributed to, but were refined in Wright’s later Prairie houses, but certain features of the house were the precursors of Wright’s later architectural themes. The most immediate, striking feature of the house, and a trait that would be seen in all of Wright’s work to come, is its strong sense of geometry. When looking at the house, one immediately notices the giant triangle, the gable. The A-framed gable was not uncommon in Oak Park when Wright built his house, in fact many of the surrounding houses have a similar gable.

  • How Did Frank Lloyd Wright Establish a New Canon of American
    “ The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.” -Frank Lloyd Wright How did Frank Lloyd Wright establish a new canon of American architecture? Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) •Considered an architectural/artistic genius and THE best architect of last 125 years •Designed over 800 buildings •Known for ‘Prairie Style’ (really a movement!) architecture that influenced an entire group of architects •Believed in “architecture of democracy” •Created an “organic form of architecture” Prairie School The term "Prairie School" was coined by H. Allen Brooks, one of the first architectural historians to write extensively about these architects and their work. The Prairie school shared an embrace of handcrafting and craftsmanship as a reaction against the new assembly line, mass production manufacturing techniques, which they felt created inferior products and dehumanized workers. However, Wright believed that the use of the machine would help to create innovative architecture for all. From your architectural samples, what may we deduce about the elements of Wright’s work? Prairie School • Use of horizontal lines (thought to evoke native prairie landscape) • Based on geometric forms . Flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves . “Environmentally” set: elevations, overhangs oriented for ventilation . Windows grouped in horizontal bands called ribbon fenestration that used shifting light . Window to wall ratio affected exterior & interior . Overhangs & bays reach out to embrace . Integration with the landscape…Wright designed inside going out . Solid construction & indigenous materials (brick, wood, terracotta, stucco…natural materials) . Open continuous plan & spaces; use of dissolving walls, but connected spaces Prairie School •Designed & used “glass screens” that echoed natural forms •Created Usonian homes for the “masses” Frank Lloyd Wright, Darwin D.

  • Preserving Graycliff:An Examination of the Colors,Fabrics and Furniture of the Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Summer Residence of I
    Figure 1. Graycliff exterior. 2001 WAG Postprints—Dallas, Texas Preserving Graycliff:An Examination of the Colors, Fabrics and Furniture of the Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Summer Residence of Isabelle Martin Pamela Kirschner Abstract Information was gathered in a study of the interior color scheme, fabrics and furni- ture of the Frank Lloyd Wright designed house Graycliff. The house is situated on a cliff overlooking Lake Erie in Derby, New York. It was designed by Wright in 1926 for Isabelle Martin, the wife of the industrialist Darwin Martin. Wright designed both freestanding and built-in furniture for the house interior and also suggested colors and fabrics. Extensive written documentation and original photographs found in the archives of the State University of New York at Buffalo have been utilized to determine the colors, materials and furniture original to the house. Physical evidence found on the remaining original furniture, moldings and upholstered pillows provides informa- tion about fi nishes, construction and show cover fabrics. Information on historic methods and materials from the period is provided for comparison with the physi- cal evidence along with scientifi c analysis of fi nishes. The conservation treatment methods are also discussed. This technical and historical information is helpful for conservators and curators to better understand the materials and construction used in Frank Lloyd Wright designs during this time period. It also promotes the proper care and conservation treatment of these objects while preserving original fi nishes and the historic intent of the house. Introduction Graycliff was the summer estate of Isabelle R. and Darwin D. Martin and is located on the cliffs above Lake Erie in Derby, New York, fourteen miles south of Buffalo.
