The
Frederick C. Robie House in the Hyde Park Neighborhood of Chicago is considered to be a masterpiece of the Prairie Style, the first architectural style unique to the United States. The building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is designated a National Landmark and an UNESCO World Heritage Site and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Completed in 1910, Wright conceived of the house as an integral whole considering the connected elements of site and structure, interior and exterior, furniture, ornament, and architecture. Unrelentingly horizontal in its elevation and a dynamic configuration of sliding planes in its plan, the Robie House is the most innovative and forward-thinking of all Wright’s Prairie houses.
