Frederick C. Robie House
The culmination of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prarie style, the Robie House (1910) is one of the cornerstones of modern architecture. It was built for a successful young businessman, Frederick C. Robie, and today it is a National Historic Landmark. This remarkable house features dramatic cantilevers, continuous limestone sills, and 174 art glass panels. Every inch of the house bears Wright's unique signature, from its sweeping horizontal planes to its furnishings.
