tour of the frank lloyd wright home and studio in oak park

All photos in this blog post were taken by myself on a photo tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Chicago. I was given permission by the Trust to take these pictures and do not use them to garner any wages from such.

While visiting Chicago recently, I made every effort to see as much Frank Lloyd Wright work as possible. I have been to see his work several times before, but each time I see something new or have an altered angle/perspective. Likely my impressions of his work are filtered through the lens of what I am currently thinking/writing about architecturally. 

Circleville Pumpkin Show - The Genius of Weary & Kramer

Pickaway County Courthouse, 1888, Weary and Kramer Architects.

The Pickaway County Courthouse is literally one of the most amazing buildings I have viewed over the course of all my years of architectural history study and international travel. The high level of intellectual play of geometry and historical iconography is amazing. "Let's play with the geometry, symmetry... let's create a surprising building that probably no one other than a highly- trained architect would understand," I might imagine Weary and Kramer said to one another when designing this building.
