These designs by Mr. Wright span the dawn of his professional career as an architect to the last few years of his life. They range in scale from a small fountain in a park to a mile high skyscraper. Links were last updated during Fall 2002.

The American architect Frank Lloyd Wright started his professional career in Illinois, working as an apprentice for Lyman Silsbee, and then for Louis Sullivan before starting his own practice in Oak Park. In the Chicago area, Frank Lloyd Wright first implemented his bold new ideas, such as the Prairie Houses (of which Illinois has many fine examples, including the Robie and Dana-Thomas houses, both open to the public). In Oak Park, built his home and studio and then many houses for others in the town.
