We made reservations to tour the Frank Lloyd Wright Robie house in Chicago. This is one of the better known Frank Lloyd Wright designs and has been our our 'bucket list' of Wright buildings to see and explore.
This is a popular attraction in Chicago and advance reservations are suggested.

| Accent lighting. some are missing and will need to be replicated |

I'm surprised you were able to take pictures inside. It sure looks similar to the house you docent at. I like the carpet details.
