On the trail of Frank Lloyd Wright in


Illinois and Wisconsin

Frank Lloyd Wright died 60 years ago in April yet he still feels present, as if his
ghost were consulting architects from the afterlife. The open floor plan concept, use
of steel and concrete in nonutilitarian buildings and walls of windows that pull
nature close are ubiquitous design elements today — you’re welcome, says Wright

from the grave. In July, UNESCO recognized his contribution to modern

architecture by adding eight of his buildings

Darkness

are in the Midwest, for obvious reasons. The architect spent most of his 70-year
career in the Chicago area and Wisconsin, his birthplace. (He died in Arizona, where
he wintered.) The Prairie State boasts the highest number of his structures, followed
by the Badger State. Combined, the pair claim about 25 sites that are open to the
public. Dozens more remain in private hands but can be viewed from the sidewalk or
during special open house events, such as the Wright Plus Housewalk in Oak Park,
Ill., which the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust holds in May.

To shepherd travelers on their pilgrimages, the Illinois and Wisconsin tourism


offices unveiled self-guided trails that connect the Wright dots. (In Wisconsin, hit all
nine and earn a collectible mug.) However, between the tours, gift shops and driving
distances, you will need significant vacation time to visit all 22 attractions. For an
abbreviated road trip, I reached out to John H. Waters at the Frank Lloyd Wright
Building Conservancy in Chicago. The preservation programs manager and architect
helped me craft an itinerary that followed Wright's professional arc from his earliest
projects (a windmill for his aunts) to his latest (his home at Taliesin), from Prairie
style to Usonian. "His architecture is endlessly fascinating," Waters told me before I
set off on my journey. "You keep on learning more about his work the more you
delve into it." To be sure, after a dozen Wright creations over six days, I could spot a
low-pitched roof and cantilevered ledge from a street away.

Why it’s important: The private residence is Wright’s last grand Prairie-style
 
house. In the late 1940s, the home was almost
Democracy demolished. Wright, who often
Dies in Darkness

quipped that his favorite building was his next one, traveled to Chicago from his
home in Wisconsin to rally for the Robie cause.

Tour overview: During the 50-minute tour, guests explore the ground level, which
includes the foyer, grown-up playroom and billiard room; the second-story living
and dining “vessel,” with its 24 leaded-glass casement doors and hand-loomed rugs
with geometric patterns; and the upstairs bedrooms, which display several original
chairs. Take note of the hooks in Lora Robie’s closet: The house’s construction
predates the use of hangers, which Meyer May, a Michigan department store
founder and Wright client, popularized. See if you can spot the three types of light
fixtures containing Wright’s logo of a square inscribed with a circle and a cross.

Fascinating fact: According to legend, when the Chicago Theological Seminary


turned the residence into a dorm for couples, graduating students absconded with
the wall sconces. Only one of the original 35 remains in the house. Hey, alums, if
you’re reading this: Please return the sconces to their Wrightful place.

Emil Bach House (1915)

Where: Chicago’s Rogers Park

Why it’s important: The brick house represents Wright in transition, between his
Prairie and Usonian periods. It is also the only Wright residence in Chicago that you
can rent for the night.

Tour overview: Spend the hour poking around the house commissioned by Emil
Bach, whose brother owned Wright’s Steffens House a few blocks away. (Sibling
rivalry, perchance?) Though the furnishings are not original, the built-in pieces were
re-created from Wright’s designs.

Fascinating fact: When subsequent owners ripped out the plaster to put in
wallboard, a teenage neighbor asked if he could take a chunk of the material. Fast

historian.

Gift shop find: No gift shop at the moment, but grab a free postcard of the Bach
House from a stack in the living room.

Extra attraction: Travel about 10 miles south to the Rookery Building, which
Burnham and Root designed in 1888. In 1905, Wright was hired to modernize the
Victorian lobby. The Frank Lloyd Wright Trust runs a store on the ground floor. Pick
up champagne flutes and a scarf/tie clip adorned with the lobby’s rosette detail or
buy a set of Bach wine glasses to toast your Wright sleepover.

Info: Tours are available Tuesday and Wednesday, May through September, for
$12; rental costs $480 a night; emilbachhouse.com.

 Frank Lloyd Wright Home (1889) and Studio (1898)


Democracy Dies in Darkness

Where: Oak Park, Ill.

Why it’s important: The Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, which owns and operates the
home and studio, describes the site as “the birthplace of Wright’s vision for a new
American architecture.” In addition to designing his residence, he worked on more
than 150 projects in his studio, including the Robie House and Unity Temple, both
UNESCO sites.

Tour overview: Over 60 minutes, interpreters (the trust’s name for guides) lead
guests through the shingle-style home he shared with his wife and their six children,
plus the studio he built after parting ways with his employer, Adler & Sullivan. You
can see early signs of his signature style, such as the large windows that create the
sensation of sitting in a treehouse, the room within the room and the “pathway of
discovery,” the mazelike route to the front door. “This was his laboratory,” said
Melissa Elsmo, an interpreter. “You are truly in the motherland of Frank Lloyd
Wright.”

Fascinating facts: In the playroom, Wright built the piano into the wall by
removing a leg and securing the instrument with an iron strap hook. You can
glimpse his mad genius setup from the stairs. “Don’t hit your head on the piano,”
warned Melissa as the group descended.

studio.

Extra attraction: Take a self-guided walking tour of Oak Park, which claims the
world’s largest collection of Wright buildings. Among the highlights: Unity Temple,
his concrete masterpiece from 1905 to 1908; the bootleg houses, which he built
clandestinely while still employed by Adler & Sullivan; the Frank Thomas House,
one of his first Prairie-style homes; and the Laura Gale House, a precursor to
Fallingwater in Pennsylvania.

Info: Daily tours cost $18; cal.flwright.org/tours/homeandstudio.

Laurent House (1952)

Where: Rockford, Ill.

Why it’s important: It is the only home Wright built for a client with a disability.

Tour overview: For an hour, docents escort guests through the one-story Usonian-
hemicycle home, even peering into the kitchen cabinets to admire the dinnerware
Wright created for the Imperial Hotel in Japan. Wright adapted the house and
furniture to fit Kenneth Laurent’s needs, down to the height of the doorknobs and
light switches. The owner, who had a spinal tumor and became a paraplegic, said the

house “helps me to focus on my capabilities, not my disabilities. That is the gift that

the structure is hidden from the road, obscured by nature.

Fascinating facts: Wright installed three Taliesin tree lamps at different angles:
90, 180 and 270 degrees. The architect urged his clients to keep the walls
unadorned. So, when the Laurents’ daughter wanted to hang a poster of David
Cassidy in her bedroom, she had to stick the dreamboat inside the door of a storage
unit.

Gift shop find: The Laurent House Foundation is building a visitor center with a
gift shop and parking lot across the street. Until it opens next year, head to the
Midway Village and Museum Center for a 3-D bookmark that displays the front and
back of the house, a difficult image to capture without a panoramic lens.

Extra attraction: Visit the Pettit Chapel in the adjacent town of Belvidere. Emma
Glasner Pettit hired Wright in 1906 to design a memorial for her husband, William
Pettit. The chapel is the only building he created for a cemetery setting. Grab a map
online or at the front office.

Info: Tours are held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from April through December,
and cost $20; laurenthouse.com.

S.C. Johnson (1939, 1950)

Where: Racine, Wis.

Why it’s important: It is the only corporate headquarters designed by Wright that
is still in use today.

 Democracy Dies in Darkness


Tour overview: S.C. Johnson, which manufactures cleaning supplies and other
household products, is an active workplace, so guides keep guests on a tight lanyard
during the 90-minute outing. The tour stops at two Wright structures — the
Research Tower, which is dormant, and the Administration Building, which is still in
operation — plus the Foster + Partners-designed Fortaleza Hall. The community
center contains the Lily Pad gift shop and exhibits on Wright and five generations of
Johnson family leaders. You have only 15 minutes, so shop and read fast. On
weekends, visitors are allowed upstairs to the mezzanine and penthouse levels of the
Administrative Building. “Take a meeting” in the 1940s penthouse office of H.F.
Johnson Jr., the third generation to run the company.

Fascinating fact: Wright designed three-legged desk chairs, assuming employees


would sit with their feet flat on the floor. However, many women would cross their
legs, causing their chairs to tip over. When Johnson Jr. asked Wright to add a fourth
leg, he refused and suggested Johnson’s staff learn to sit properly. During a meeting,
the company president asked Wright to pick up a pencil on the floor. The architect
toppled over and Johnson received his fourth chair leg.

Gift shop find: Johnson product loyalists can take home a plush toy of a Scrubbing
Bubble or a Raid mosquito. For a Wright-themed object, defy the no-art-on-the-
walls order for a decorative wood hanging styled after the circular pattern on the
glass dome in the Administration Building.

same trip his father took in 1935, or the Academy Award-winning documentary “To
Be Alive,” which the company presented at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. Tour

Burnham Block (1916)

Where: Milwaukee

Why it’s important: The row of houses demonstrates Wright’s first attempt at
building affordable housing. Owners could pick among 30 or 40 standardized
models, ranging from 805 square feet to a five-bedroom with maids’ quarters.

Tour overview: Six of the 20 American System-Built Homes reside on this city
block once surrounded by celery fields. Over 45 minutes, docents take visitors inside
Model B1, which measures 805 square feet, and Two Flat, Model C, which is under
renovation. On the tour, learn how Wright employed such money- and space-saving
strategies as using less expensive gum wood and installing 33 windows to create the

Fascinating fact: Wright considered gutters offensive, so he hid pipes inside the
house to drain the roof. You can also see pipes jutting out from the flower planters
and sleeping porch.

Gift shop find: Leather journal in Cherokee red, his signature color, with a
Burnham Block logo designed by a docent.

Extra attraction: Spend the night in an American System-Built Home on West


Burnham Street. VRBO lists the rental for about $210 a night.

Info: Tour dates vary by season and cost $15; wrightinmilwaukee.com.

Unitarian Meeting
House (1951)

Where: Madison, Wis.

Why it’s important: Wright, a Unitarian, was a member of the Madison


congregation that his parents helped establish in 1879. “This was his church,” said
John Powell, a guide and church member. “This building is a statement to his
religion. He called it his ‘little country church.’ ”

Tour overview: The hour-long tour of the Usonian building starts in the addition,
which the congregation built in 2008 to accommodate its more than 1,400 members
who could not fit inside Wright’s 200-seat building. At the Meeting House, which is
tricked out in scaffolding, guests learn about its structural follies, including a leaking
copper roof and sagging trusses. Inside, a hexagonal dome is inscribed with the
names of six men Wright admired, including Thoreau, Emerson and his uncle, a
Unitarian preacher. The auditorium resembles a ship’s prow and its sides echo the
cliff walls of the quarry where congregants collected 1,000 tons of dolomite. The
tour wraps up in the Gaebler Living Room, by the bell that the church had to remove
because it swayed dangerously in the wind.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/travel/on-the-trail-of-frank-lloyd-wright-in-illinois-and-wisconsin/2019/09/05/662d57e8-bfa4-11e9-a5c6-1e74f7ec4a93_… 13/20
9/6/2019 Where to see Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in Wisconsin and Illinois - The Washington Post

Fascinating fact: In the auditorium, an etching of a proverb about coins, bread


 
and flowers is attributed to an “ancient
Democracyparable.” But Google the phrase and you
Dies in Darkness

won’t find an exact match. Powell said Wright possibly quoted the saying without
fact-checking himself. His version is now committed to stone.

Gift shop find: A DVD that includes the standing-room-only sermon Wright
delivered in 1955, plus other interviews and footage about the construction of the
church.

Extra attractions: Check out (from the sidewalk) the Jacobs I House, the first
Usonian structure and a UNESCO site. Enjoy a snack at the rooftop cafe of the
Monona Terrace, which Wright designed in 1938 but never lived to see completed.
The community and convention center also has an impressive gift shop with shelves
of Wright items. My pick: Wisconsin-made ceramic bowls and mugs with a drawing
of the Madison skyline and Monona Terrace.

Info: Tours are held weekdays, May through September, and Sunday year-round.
Cost is $12.50 (online) and $15 (at the door); free on Sundays after morning

Taliesin (1911-1959)

Where: Spring Green, Wis.

Why it’s important: The UNESCO site contains Wright’s home, studio and school,
which continues to train architectural students. The multiple structures on the 800-
acre estate span his entire career, from the 1890s to the 1950s.

Tour overview: Choose from several tours that last from one to four hours and
emphasize different parts of the property. The two-hour Highlights Tour, for
instance, offers a comprehensive look at his personal and professional life. Guests
visit the two main structures — the Hillside Studio and Theatre, and his home —

plus a replica of his earliest work at Taliesin, the Romeo and Juliet Windmill from
 
1897. (His first two jobs came from his aunts,
Democracy who ran a school here. The pair sold

the property to their nephew for $1.) Visitors can peer into the students’ workroom
and check out the dining hall with its light fixtures made of plywood scraps. Wright
rebuilt his private living quarters twice — the first time after the 1914 massacre of his
mistress, her two children and four workmen; the second time after an electrical fire.
(Our guide, Peggy, lowered and softened her voice when recounting the tragedy. A
few tourgoers unfamiliar with the story gasped.) He tinkered with the design until
the end of his life.

Fascinating fact: In the guest room, Wright positioned a small window near a
statue so that during the equinox, a shard of light would illuminate the angel.

Gift shop find: Silver jewelry by Spring Green artist Ali Kauss, who created the
pieces exclusively for Taliesin. Her Wright-inspired creations include window
silhouette earrings, a window quartet necklace and double petal flower earrings.

Extra attraction: Dine at the Riverview Terrace Cafe, Wright’s only restaurant
design still in operation. The Food Artisan Immersion Program, which teaches
budding chefs a holistic approach to cooking, runs the lunch spot inside the Frank
Lloyd Wright Visitor Center. The seasonal dishes change often, but you can always
find cheese on the menu.
