About This Building
Where Wright lived and worked during the formative Prairie years.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park is where Wright lived with his family and developed the Prairie Style between 1889 and 1909. The complex grew organically as Wright's family and practice expanded, showing the evolution of his ideas in real time. The drafting studio — with its octagonal balcony and chain-hung roof — is one of the most inventive spaces Wright ever designed. Now a museum operated by the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, it is the essential starting point for any FLW pilgrimage.
