Welcome!

Oak Park, Illinois is home to the world's largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings and houses, with 25 structures built between 1889 and 1913. It was in our village that Wright developed and perfected his signature Prairie Style architecture, emphasizing the use of interior light and open spaces in low, earth-hugging buildings. His designs changed the course of 20th century architecture. Many of the Wright houses and buildings in Oak Park and River Forest are registered National Historic Landmarks.

We invite you to take a "walking" Photo Tour of the Wright architecture in Oak Park, or, you can choose to look at the individual houses and buildings on these pages, organized by Date or Name.

The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust sponsors many "Wright" events each month, and offers daily walking tours of the Wright Houses in Oak Park. One highlight is the annual Wright Plus Housewalk.

The Guide to Frank Lloyd Wright & Prarire School Architecture in Oak Park by Paul E. Sprague, published 1986 by the Village of Oak Park, is an excellent reference about Wright's architecture and houses in Oak Park. The commentary and descriptions of the Wright designed residential properties featured on this site are frequently excerpted from this text. The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust Book Catalog offers a selection of guidebooks which can be ordered online.

The "Wright in Oak Park" website and its photo tours are part of the Oak Park Tourist, and are not connected with nor sponsored by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust.
