Visit Wright's Robie House

The Robie House on the University of Chicago campus is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. It was created by Frank Lloyd Wright for his client Frederick C. Robie, a forward-thinking businessman. Designed in Wright's Oak Park studio in 1908 and completed in 1910, the building is both a masterpiece of the Prairie style and renowned as a forerunner of modernism in architecture. Tours of the site offer both a first-hand experience of its amazingly contemporary spaces and the current restoration work that is returning the house to its original appearance.

Public tours are available Thursday – Monday. The museum is closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Advance tickets are highly recommended. Purchase tickets here or call 312.994.4000 Mon-Sun, 9 am to 5 pm CT. Due to the NATO Summit-related road closures, the Robie House will be closed on May 19-21, 2012.

Robie House is available for facility rentals and special events.
