What bastard would tear down a Wright house? If Frank built a dog house it would be worth more than their life.

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome building! I wish I could visit all the houses FLW designed throughout his life.

Some sources say that this house was created in 1908 or 1909. Which is the correct year?

[KlunkerRider]

How old is this video? I had heard that they were trying to raise funds to replicate the original FLW designed furniture which was sold off when the Robies left. The effect of the house will never be complete till the furniture is replaced. This happened with the Hollyhock House, whose interior character was dramaticly changed when they replicated the original funiture in the living room.

About 1958 I saw the Robie House. My faculty adviser Catherine Winckler was one owner of the Goetsch Winckler house.

I knocked at the Robie House front door than the kitchen door. A stooped lady with a large Harlequin Great Dane dog opened the door. I asked if I could see the inside of the house. She let me in. The house was very dirty with chalkboards and tables left behind.

I was as much aware of the neglect to the house as the beauty of the house.

It was a once in a lifetime experience.

These videos are good, but the host really needs to take a deep breath and slow down. I feel like I'm listening to an overexcited high school cheerleader.

[castlesave]

Come see the Darwin Martin House in Buffalo, NY

[mjd775]

....I cant believe that they wanted to demolish this beautiful building, not once , but two or three times?!! Philistines

[MandLVPS]

omg i went here for a field trip and we got to go inside it was so awsome

[americanista09]

looking at this house, you can see the horizontal lines that would have try to match the prairie and the low ceilings that try to protect those who live in the house, a great design

[zoom0batman]

i read the wright 3 that is y i like this vid

[majchers]

Speak slower and work on your elocution and enunciation. You're losing half of your wording dear...

[ackamedia]

FLw:I like horizon like the concept of this house

[cooper22m]

haha-parking can be difficult, silly Americans. Well you can partially blame Wright for that!...Broadacre City? :D

[GCloydM]

Oh Cooper what a glib little genius you seem to think you are.

So smug , so arrogant, so stupid.

[CelticBeatleNarnian]

I love this house!!

[sdjnwhy]

I think Wright did know what is space.He created very fantastic places,and they are the real treasures of the US and the whole world.By the way,thank you for posting this video.:)

[askthedecorator]

Thanks for watching!

[d3peeto]

point, extension, direction, position, enclosure, order... beautiful

[m22k3yt]

Robie house, along with the Martin House, are prime examples of the FLW's emphasis of designing a home in order to bring the family together. Just look at his childhood, it's what drove him to create the Prairie style home. Lastly, I think that girl is hot.

[askthedecorator]

That's a great observation. If you visit Frank Lloyd Wright's home in Oak Park, you'll also see his emphasis on family. He created a large playroom for his children and kept the walls between their rooms from hitting the ceiling so they could throw pillows and things over them. Also, thanks for your too kind comment. I wish you the best. -Meghan

[jplent]

Meghan looks delicious.

[pinklyass]

[FiliberkeNys]

Frank Lloyd Wright was an amazing architect !!!

[isisvenomz]

[alexmg1987]

spanishhh  please

I volunteered here for two years, and worked here for five years. Robie House's interior is one of the most fantastic spaces I ever experienced.

I encourage all visitors of Chicago, IL USA to take a tour, and experience the space. And, I encourage the citizens of Chicago, the people of Illinois and the rest of the 49 states to see this remarakable American structure as well!
