Charnley-Persky House Review

Charnley-Persky House
Houses / Mansions, Near North
Fodor's Review:
Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Charnley-Persky House with his mentor Louis Sullivan. This almost-austere residence represents one of Wright's first significant forays into residential design. Historians still squabble about who designed what here, but it's easy to imagine that the young go-getter had a hand in the cleanly rendered interior. Note how the geometric exterior looks unmistakably modern next to its fussy neighbors.
