Frank Lloyd Wright - Oak Park

The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio (1889/1898) served as Wright's private residence and workplace from 1889 to 1909,the first 20 years of his career.
In 1898 Wright added a studio, described by a fellow-architect as a workplace with "inspiration everywhere." The site has been restored as it would have appeared in 1909, the last year that Wright lived in the Home and worked in the Studio. Incredible that he was only 22 when he designed it.
