		The Robie House is a residential masterpiece designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1910.

	Robie House ** Guide to Robie House Chicago
		The Frederick C. Robie House, located on the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park, was designated a National Historic Landmark because it is a masterpiece of the Prairie style of architecture that some say inspired an architectural revolution and changed the course of American residential design.
		The house was one of the first ever to use steel beams in residential architecture, which allowed the roof to extend 20 feet beyond the walls at either end of the house.
		The Robies moved out of the house in 1911, but it remained a private residence until 1926, when it was sold -- furnishings included -- to the Chicago Theological Seminary for use as a dormitory.

	Robie House Story
		The house is generally considered a turning point in modern residential architecture and has been voted one of the ten most important buildings in America- in its structure, as design, as integration of materials, as design for domestic life and layout of living space, as integration of structure and furnishings.
		Robie House was rescued (likely through the ingenuity of Julian Levi and arranged at a meeting in Mayor Daley's office) by the New York firm overseeing much of the Urban Renewal work in Hyde Park, Webb and Knapp, led by William Zeckendorf, for $125,000.
		Robie House was used as Webb and Knapp's construction office until they gave it to the University of Chicago in 1963.

		The seriously deteriorated Robie House is being restored to its original splendor by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust, according to the guidelines developed by the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
		Decades of decay and neglect have endangered the Frederick C. Robie House, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed building that the architect himself termed “a cornerstone of modern architecture” and the only one of his creations that he fought to save from demolition – twice.

	Robie House by Frank Lloyd Wright
		The Robie House gracefully receeds from the street in a series of horizontal overlapping planes; this exterior spatial overlap is complemented by an interior that is open to the outside, yet sheltered.
		This delicate balance of private and exposed space (requested by Robie himself, to shield his family from outsiders, but a constant theme in Wright’s domestic architecture) is remarkable, as is the suitability of the house for modern living.
		The Robie House is a National Historic Landmark and is operated by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust.
