Unity Temple in Oak Park, IL

Sam, Sue, Lisa, and Bryan and I took a trip to Oak Park this afternoon to tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s Unity House. It’s so awesome. I haven’t explored an intimate and visually exciting place like this in a very long time, so I had a doozy of a time. I decided to kick it old school and convert to black and white, something I haven’t done in a while and should probably try doing more often. I don’t think you’re missing much with color here anyway; Unity Temple has a very dull, earthy paint job that doesn’t really accentuate any of its amazing details. Enjoy!

Bonus shot: Selective color (I know, super kitschy – but I couldn’t resist) on the dealership loaner car Bryan drove us in.

  1. I think I read somewhere that he did a synagogue and orthodox church somewhere too. This is definitely the most popular. “The first modern building.”
