<\/a>Frank Lloyd Wright House<\/p>\nFrank Lloyd Wright bought the property, then designed and built the house with adjoining work space. \u00a0He was a young architect who\u00a0was at the beginning of his illustrious career. Some early design elements were used in theses structures for which he later became famous. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Wright also won clients in his neighborhood and there were many houses nearby which were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. \u00a0Visitors can take a walking tour to see them.<\/span><\/p>\n We didn’t have time to see all the Frank Lloyd Wright houses in Oak Park and we hope\u00a0to return some day. The tour guide had said that many of the houses are open to the public in April. A few blocks away was Ernest Hemingway’s boyhood home. We drove there but\u00a0it had a Sunday afternoon opening, so we left. We definitely have to come back to this neighborhood again at another time. Back on the road, we passed the grand city of Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n It was too far to\u00a0drive the distance from Chicago to southern\u00a0New York, so\u00a0we had to stay two more nights\u00a0on the road. By now, we were eager to get\u00a0home. We had been traveling for twenty-four days for a total of 6,000 miles. We continued through the farmlands of Indiana on the interstate and stopped at Maumee, Ohio for the night. Then we passed miles of cornfields before we reached DuBois (“Doo-Boyz”) Pennsylvania for our last night on this journey.<\/p>\n<\/a>The Octagonal Studio<\/p>\n<\/a>Neighboring House<\/p>\n<\/a>Prairie Style House<\/p>\n<\/a>Another Frank Lloyd Wright Design<\/p>\n<\/a>Chicago Skyline<\/p>\n<\/a>More Farms in Illinois<\/p>\n<\/a>Lunch Stop at Muchos Buenos Mexican Grill in Ohio<\/p>\n
