We drove and walked around the suburb of Oak Park on Sunday to see the many homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, including his personal home and studio. Ernest Hemingway's home was also in the neighborhood! (Oak Park Tour Info)

Kathy read descriptions she printed off the internet for each house we viewed
earlier designs looked more conventional
another early design, but notice the unconventional horizontal window
typical Prairie School design
closeup of stone planter, one of his signature designs
Imagine living in a house like this in the early 20th century in a neighborhood of Victorian homes!
another good example of using stone planters
The Hemingway house was just a little older in the same neighborhood!
