The masterpiece of Wright's Prairie-style houses and a World Heritage Site, located on the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park.
Completed in 1910, the Robie House sits on the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park. Its sweeping horizontal roof eaves, ribbon windows and art glass embody the essence of Prairie-style architecture. In 2019 it was inscribed as a World Heritage Site along with other Wright works. Interior visits are by guided tour only and must be booked in advance on the official website. You can also visit the Gothic-style University of Chicago campus and Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.
