Wright’s Oak Park Home and Studio served as his residence and workplace for the first twenty years of his career. The birthplace of Wright’s new American architecture, the building offers a remarkable insight into the origins of Wright’s visionary design philosophy.

The iconic Rookery building in downtown Chicago is one the earliest surviving examples of the city’s multistoried office buildings. A testament to the pioneering spirit of late-nineteenth-century Chicago, the Rookery brings together the work of two of the city’s most innovative architects, John Wellborn Root and Frank Lloyd Wright.
