Happy Birthday Frank Lloyd Wright

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker 475.140531

Today is Frank Lloyd Wright's birthday, he passed away in 1959. On Sunday when we went for a long walk we passed a home he designed and took a look at it. This was the Emil Bach.  The Emil Bach House is a Prairie style house in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, United States that was designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The house was built in 1915 for an admirer of Wright's work, Emil Bach. It is located at 7415 N. Sheridan Rd Chicago IL 60206 which is in the Rogers Park area.

Now the Emil Bach house is available to rent as a B & B. and is in beautiful shape.

Here is a photo I took Sunday.

Noah, I do like the Frank Lloyd Wright home I have seen in Chicago many years ago and I believe it was in River Forest. He was a legend as an architect.

Interesting post, Noah - I flatter myself to think that I would have recognized his style in the Emil Bach house.

He was amazing.  That reminds me a bit of the Robie house in South Chicao/University of Chicago.

We have Usonia here.

Great photo with an interesting back-drop!

I"ve never toured any of Wright's home but like his style quite a bit. There seem to be Wright homes all over the place!

He was the consummate professional with vision imagination ability and a strength to make it work when all others scoffed.

Happy Birthday Frank!! One of America's favorite and most well known architects.  I have toured Falling Water, southeast of Pittsburgh several times.  Buffalo has two properties built by him. (can't remember the names.)

We have some Frank Lloyd Wright influence here as well, but of course you know that, as you likely used to live near Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd, right?

Hi Noah --- I've been to Oak Park to tour the Frank Wright home and studio twice --- such great architecture that combines so many different elements.   Interesting to see this home offered as a B&B --- that might make for an interesting place to stay.

Hi Noah Seidenberg , Frank Loyd Wright was ahead of his time, for sure.  We have one of his creations in South Bend's Twickenham Hiills area.

One of favorite architects. Though his style was a little bleak and took some effort to find comfort therein, his design is sublime. cheers cvc
