Went to Chicago to see Frank Llyod Wright especially the Robbie house. Also saw Trinity church and FLW’s home. Robbie house was most impressive appearance wise.

It was interesting to hear that the original owner the Robbie only lived there a year and half since his father died and his will was to clean the debut so his son had to sell his brand-new house. Well, can not tell how much he loved his father but a dead man can not speak, so if he loved his new house so much, I am pretty sure there was a way to keep the house. However he did not, so I suspect that the new owner did not find the new house as comfy as he thought he would. Also the guide (Susan, the Trinity ;-) was saying that they had a basement where FLW did not design furniture for it and where Robbies placed some of THEIR furniture and end up spending much of their time there.

The house looked nice but I bet it was not so nice to live.
