History and beauty

This tour was fabulous. We learned about the history and architecture of the Robie House. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The only issue with our voucher was we didn’t realize we had to reserve a specific tour time through the Robie House. We highly recommend the optional self guided audio tour of the neighborhood and parts of U Chicago, also focused on architecture. We enjoyed doing that before the house tour because it provided some context.

Enjoyed our visit to the Robie House

First of all, our guide was really excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the home, to include its history, owners, and architectural details. Thanks to generous grants, the house is in excellent condition. For fans of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings, this was a real treat.
