In accordance with CDC recommendations, the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust requests that both vaccinated and unvaccinated persons wear a face mask indoors at all Trust sites. (8/3/21) The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois served as Wright's private residence and workplace from 1889 to 1909--the first 20 years of his career. Today, Oak Park is home to the world’s largest collection of Wright-designed buildings. Wright used his first home to experiment with design concepts that contain the seeds of his architectural philosophy. In his adjacent studio, Wright and his associates developed a new American architecture - the Prairie style. Enjoy guided tours of the museum complex and neighboring historic district seven days a week. Trained interpreters offer insights into Wright's family life and architectural legacy.

A House of History
Traveling through the house, each room showed FLW’s developing style in Prairie Architecture. This tour was so fascinating, I had seen Falling Water several years ago and to see how he developed to that home was amazing. Don’t miss the homes he designed through Oak Park and also LaGrange, Illinois.

Highly recommended
You don't need to be an avid fan of Frank Lloyd Wright to enjoy this tour. My knowledge of him was probably rudimentary, and weighted heavily toward knowledge of his prairie style architecture. His home and studio in Oak Park give you a look into his family and early career. Tours are limited to 12 people, so there is ample opportunity to ask questions and learn from the tour guide. It was fascinating to see how his style evolved, just during the time he lived in this home, and added on to it. The volunteer who led our tour made the stories of how he interacted with his clients come alive. You could just imagine Frank Lloyd Wright treating his clients in this way. After the tour we enjoyed a lovely walk around the neighborhood, finding the three other houses he designed. It was also an easy walk to downtown Oak Park for lunch. There is a small gift shop with a wide variety of Wright-related items.
