The Frederick C. Robie House is a historic house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1908-09 and constructed in 1909-10. It is located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, on the campus of the University of Chicago. Robie House is regarded as a high point of the Prairie Style and marks the end of Wright’s Oak Park years, an incredibly creative and productive twenty-year period that has been called his first golden age.[4]
Robie House has received city, state, national, and international recognition for its architectural significance as one of the great buildings of the twentieth century. In 1963, Robie House was designated a National Historic Landmark, the first in the city of Chicago and the first to be selected based on architectural merit alone. In 1966, Robie House was listed on the first National Register of Historic Places.[1] In 1971, Robie House was declared a Chicago Landmark,[5] the first building to receive such recognition from the newly formed Commission on Chicago Landmarks. In 1980, the house was designated an Illinois Historic Landmark.[2] Most recently, in 2019, Robie House was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with seven other significant works by Frank Lloyd Wright under the group listing "The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright."
Robie House is owned by the University of Chicago and is regularly open to the public as a historic house museum operated and maintained by the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust.[6]
