Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio
Located in Oak Park, Illinois, Frank Lloyd Wright was 22 years old when he purchased the property and built the home in 1889 with a $5,000 loan from his employer Louis Sullivan.[4] In the Studio, Frank Lloyd Wright and associated architects like Walter Burley Griffin and sculptor Richard Bock advanced the Prairie School of Architecture and designed many notable structures, including the Robie House, Unity Temple, the Laura Gale home, and the Larkin building.The playroom was the most beautiful room; this has been interpreted that the architect gave his children what he was unable to give as a father or "at heart he was the 7th child of the family".These include the two boulder figures flanking the entrance of the studio, which features a man crouching and breaking free from the ground beneath him.The capitals signifies the tree of life, the book of knowledge, an architectural scroll, and two storks full of wisdom and fertility.
