Virtual Sketching with the Chicago ICAA: The Frederick C. Robie House by Frank Lloyd Wright
Chicago ICAA would like to invite you to join us for our virtual weekly sketching exercise. This week's subject is The Frederick C. Robie House by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Frederick C. Robie House is a U.S. National Historic Landmark now on the campus of the University of Chicago in the South Side neighborhood of Hyde Park in Chicago, Illinois. Built between 1909 and 1910, the building was designed as a single family home by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and is renowned as the greatest example of Prairie School, the first architectural style considered uniquely American. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 27, 1963, and was on the first National Register of Historic Places list of October 15, 1966. Robie House and a selection of other properties by Wright were inscribed on the World Heritage List under the title "The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright" in July 2019.
