CHIT-CHAT: Robie House offers more options for visitors
The Robie House is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most important buildings because of the architectural revolution it inspired. Though it was built in 1910, the house remains a masterpiece of modern architecture to this day. This month, the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust is introducing an expanded selection of guest experiences for visitors to the Robie House. Brian Reis, assistant curator of the Robie House, says the new tours give guests unprecedented access to the Robie House.
