Wright Chicago Links

These signature homes built by the Frank Lloyd Wright in Chicago are some of my favorite laces to visit in and around the city. The South Side seems to enjoy a large numberof them among their museums and other tourist projects. There is a directory, a number of museum photos, and map avaiable at local museums like the Bevery Museum. Illinois is home to the largest group of Wright buildings in the nation. Twnety-five were built between 1889 and 1913 alone.

There is so much there that 10 Hubs could not do it justice.

There was once a huge indoor amusement park outside Chicago and I can find no information on it. Maybe the Navy Pier in Chicago replaced it.
