Louis Fredrick House (Wright, 1954)

William Emery House (Walter Burley Griffin, 1902)

The Chicago area is home to the largest concentration of Wright-designed buildings in the world, but few travel far enough afield to see the full range of Wright’s work in northern Illinois, which includes some of the earliest works of Wright’s careers and some of the latest, Prairie-style houses and Usonians, a farmhouse and Wright’s only house designed for a person in a wheelchair. The Conservancy’s annual Out and About Wright tour travels to many of these houses.

Saturday, April 29Depart from the DoubleTree Hotel in Oak Brook at 9 a.m. to tour the Kenneth and Phyllis Laurent House (1949) in Rockford (1.5 hour drive), Pettit Chapel (1906) in Belvidere, the Louis Fredrick House (1954) in Bar-rington Hills and Muirhead Farmhouse (1950) in Hampshire, all designed by Wright, as well as the Bruce Goff-designed Ruth and Sam Ford House (1949) in Aurora. Cap off an exciting day of touring with a reception at the Wright-designed Mrs. A.W. Gridley House (1906) in Batavia, before returning to the hotel around 7:30 p.m. Lunch is provided and dinner is on your own.
