There are planter boxes built-in all over Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House. This particular plant was hanging down from the front porch planter.

Original bathroom light fixture, Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House. Almost all of the lighting fixtures in the house followed a theme, based on symbolism derived from Wright's family lineage going back to Wales. One of his family's symbols was a cross, in a circle, inside a square. If you look carefully at this fixture, you will see a cross in the base, with the circle of the light bulb, inside the main square of the base.

These are reproductions of the 900lb main gates for the Robie House in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. The original gates disappeared in the 1920's with no clear history of why or where they ended up. A generous donor several years back paid to have them reproduced. The metalwork echoes the designs in the caming of the stained-glass windows, and also echoes angles found within the house. The main diamond, for example, matches the pitch of the roof.

Wanted to grab a shot of my favorite FLLW building with the Fall colors - sunset was just lighting up the tops of the trees as I was finishing my tours for the day. Olympus E-M5, d.

This wood-grilled laylight is in the dining room prow of Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House in Chicago. Currently has a fiberglass sheet over it, originally had rice paper. The design is echoed throughout the house in the other ceiling grilles/laylights.

This pipe fitting sucks. Literally. The Robie House, Frank Lloyd Wright's 1910 Prairie masterpiece in Chicago, had a central vacuum system installed throughout the three floors. This particular inlet is one of the few completely intact.

Here you can see the desert rubblestone construction. Wright and his apprentices gathered up loose stones from the desert surrounding the compound, filled up the forms with them, and then poured concrete over them, forcing it in between the loose rocks. The result was a strong composite wall that definitely blended in with the surroundings because it was [b]made[/b] from the surroundings.
