I've taken guided-tours of all the Wright-designed homes in Oak Park (Chicago, IL) as well as some of his commercial buildings. The home in Ebsworth Park is an excellent example of his work at the apex of his career. If you already have an appreciation for his designs, you won't be disappointed by taking this tour! If you've never experiences... More 

This is an example of Wright's Utopian home. We have visited other Wright homes, but this is the one I found most interesting and it was right in my backyard! There are few square corners in this house!

For a diversion that will only take an hour or two, this sculpture called a house is yet another example of the genius of FLW. We're so lucky to have it preserved right in our own neighborhood.

The Kraus family got FLW to design this house for them... and they stuck to his exact plan... including the furnishings even the trapezoid shaped bed... basically untouched FLW design from roof to floor... nearly exactly the same as it was the day it was completed in the 50's.

A stunning example of FLW's Usonian style, the house was built for the Krauses in the 1950s at their request.

Great insight into Lloyd Wright's architecture. Our first visit to one of his homes; tour guide, Anne, told interesting stories; recommend this tour for anyone who likes to learn about unique homes and Usonian architecture.

It's not every day you have an opportunity to see excellent architecture with furnishings preserved at museum quality in you own backyard. I highly recommend that you tour the Kraus House in Ebsworth Park (part of St Louis County parks) in Kirkwood. This was my second visit in less than one year. I learned even more fascinating information about this... More
