Frank Lloyd Wright House

Just a hop, skip, and a jump down the street from my apartment is an original house designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. This plaque stands in front of the house and says:

"Emil Bach House

Frank Lloyd Wright, architect

1915

One of the last of Wright's small urban houses, the Bach House combines elements of the Prairie Style with a compact plan well suited for an interior lot. The inward orientation of the house ensures the privacy of its residents and reflects Wright's idea of the importance of family life.

Designated a Chicago Landmark on September 28, 1977 by the City Council of Chicago.

Michael A. Bilandic, Mayor

Commission on Chicago Architectural and Historical Landmarks"

While the house is cool and famous and all, my favorite part of it is actually the garden out front. Every spring, this garden blooms with HUNDREDS of absolutely gorgeous tulips. It's one of my favorite sights to see in Chicago. This evening Clara and I took a walk over to the house to snap a couple of photos so you could see it too.
