In , Frank Lloyd Wright founded his architectural practice in Oak Park, a quiet, semi-rural village on the Western edges of Chicago. It was at his Oak Park Studio during the first decade of the twentieth century that Wright pioneered a bold new approach to domestic architecture, the Prairie style.
During his early years in Chicago, Wright did not operate in a vacuum. His work was supported and often enhanced by a group of pioneering Midwestern architects at work in and around Chicago. His philosophy was structured around all the elements of the building appearing unified.
This often meant using large expanses of glass to help blend the outdoor space with the indoor space. He believed glass was like the mirrors of nature found in rivers, ponds, and lakes. Bringing the outdoors in, while remaining protected from the elements is a design feature found throughout many homes Wright designed.

This home is now open to the public for tours and is the home of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the School of Architecture at Taliesin.
