Oak Park, Illinois, 1889-1909


Frank Lloyd Wright was born in 1867 and became a leading American proponent of the modern movement in architectural design. His initial practice was centered out of Oak Park, Illinois. He designed two houses in Nebraska, only one of which was built. Wright died in 1959.[3]
