Fodor's Review:
Long and low, Robie House (1908-1910) grabs the ground and sends the eye zipping westward. Massive overhangs shoot out from the low-pitched roof and windows run along the facade in a glittering stretch. Inside, Wright's "open plan" echoes the great outdoors, as one space flows into another, while sunlight streaming through decorative leaded windows bathes the rooms in patterns. Robie House is midway through a 10-year renovation but remains open to visitors.
