Description:
One of the best examples of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie-style architecture, Robie House boasts characteristic horizontal lines, stained-glass windows, and balconies. Wright designed the rooms to be energy efficient by keeping out direct sunlight and allowing enough light in to keep rooms from growing too dark. The concept was ingenious for 1910, and it's still impressive today. The interior is quite modern in feel, and the entire structure is an integrated, beautiful whole.
