The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio is a historic house and design studio in Oak Park, Illinois, which was designed and owned by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. First built in 1889 and added to over the years, the home and studio is furnished with original Wright-designed furniture and textiles.[3] It has been restored by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust to its appearance in 1909, the last year Wright lived there with his family.[4] Here, Wright worked on his career and aesthetic in becoming one of the most influential architects of the 20th century.
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, declared a National Historic Landmark four years later,[5] and contributes to the Frank Lloyd Wright–Prairie School of Architecture Historic District containing a number of his projects and related work.
