A close study of Wright’s Robie House

Joseph Connors examines the Robie House in Chicago as an example of Prairie-style residential architecture and considers how its design developed. The account draws on Frank Lloyd Wright’s writings, period working drawings, and photographs made during construction, bringing the building’s planning and making into view. Images of the house and related Wright residences support the discussion, while a bibliography offers a route to further study. At 86 pages, the book is framed both as a companion for visitors to the house and as a focused look at the ideas and materials behind its design.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Visitors to the Robie House seeking context for what they see
  • Readers interested in Frank Lloyd Wright and Prairie-style houses
  • Architecture students or enthusiasts looking for a concise, image-supported study

Book overview

The Robie House in Chicago is one of the world's most famous houses, a masterpiece from the end of Frank Lloyd Wright's early period and a classic example of the Prairie House. This book is intended as a companion for the visitor to the house, but it also probes beneath the surface to see how the design took shape in the mind of the architect. Wright's own writings, rare working drawings from the period, and previously unpublished photographs of the house in construction help the reader look over the shoulder of the architect at work. Beautiful new photographs of the Robie House and related Wright houses have been specially taken to illustrate the author's points, and a bibliography on Wright is provided.
