Chicago - the finer things

This weekend some friends and I toured Oak Park, which is Frank Lloyd Wright's old stomping ground. We had all read Loving Frank by Nancy Horan back in August and decided to see his work for ourselves.
These are some shots of a nearby park, homes he designed in his neighborhood, and his own home and studio(photos 3-5).
I think our next common read should be set in Bali, although Chicago was surprisingly lovely in November...

Did you do the walking tour? That neighborhood is beautiful. We went to a wedding a few years back in that neighborhood. The cocktail hour between the wedding and the reception was in a beautiful house there, and then they bussed us all over to the Baltimore aquarium for the reception. It was so awesome. We came back the next day and walked all over looking at the architecture.

We just did the house and studio tour but I am going back someday! Did not get to see Hemingway's birthplace either.
