Saturday afternoon, we decided to head to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home. I remember that we drove past it when I was in Chicago visiting Amy and Wade, but I don't remember ever going in it, so we were lucky to go inside! His Architecture is interesting...they said on the tour that he was the antithesis of Victorian Architecture, and I realized throughout the tour that i really LIKE Victorian Architecture! I think many of the things that he did were unique, and probably pretty shocking for the time. One thing that I thought was really cool was his piano--he didn't have room for a grand piano in his room, so he cut a hole in his wall and suspended his piano over the stairwell, so from the room it looks like a stand up piano, but the entire piano is actually in the stairwell! I think that was the first In-House Speaker System :)
