Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park, Ill.

Take a walking tour that will take you back in time.

Wright was not quite 22 years old in 1889 when he married his first wife, Catherine, and moved to Oak Park. Over the next quarter century he designed 25 residences and buildings in the community, including his own home and studio. Many are now on the National Register of Historic Places, and several are open for tours.

This page lists all the Wright building sites, and provides a map for you to plot your walking tour. Every house is numbered, and you can browse a picture and history of each structure. There's extensive information about the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, which receives more than 100,000 visitors a year.

Check the list of Wright events and programs to see what's happening in Oak Park. You can link to the Oak Park Visitors Bureau to find lodgings, restaurants and other attractions.

A long list of links takes you to many other Wright websites, as well as architecture and art sites. On the artisans page, you can shop online for furniture, books and fine-art reproductions of Wright drawings. The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust online catalog offers videos and DVDs, posters, home accessories, calendars, stationery and other items.
