F.L.W.

A bit later than promised, but here is the last part of our Chicago story. The architect Frank Lloyd Wright stood at the beginning of modern architecture. He is mostly famous for his Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Fallingwater House. His career started in Chicago, where he worked for the famous architecture firm Adler and Sullivan. In Oakpark Chicago, he built his own house, including his studio and some of his most famous early works including the Unity Temple and the Robie House.
