The Robie House, or Frederick C. Robie House, is a US National Historic Landmark in Chicago, Illinois. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Robie House in 1908 from his Oak Park studio.

The house remains singularly the most

important example of mid century modern architecture design. The Robie House features some of the iconic horizontal lines and overhangs that would find their way into Wright’s later work combining modernist architecture and urban planning.

The Robie House, the world’s first modern home, was designed in 1908 by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and still seems startlingly contemporary 100 years later with its broad horizontal lines and sleek art-glass windows, with it’s long lines and private, and hidden, interior.

Robie House in Hyde Park is a great example of Wright’s work as well as the gothic architecture at University of Chicago. The impressive Cultural Center at the Corner of Randolph and Michigan is the old public library.

Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.” - Frank Lloyd Wright,  architect of the Robie House, Chicago.
