# Robie House: interior [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary The Robie House is one of the Praire houses that Frank Lloyd Wright designed as a residential type. These houses are marked externally by extended horizontal lines and overhanging roofs, and internally by spatial continuity among major rooms, the integration of furniture and ornament, especially art glass windows. The artistry of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House is dazzling, from its sweeping horizontal planes to its delicate bands of art glass to its extraordinary manipulation of interior space. Completed in 1910 alongside the Gothic Revival towers of the University of Chicago, the house culminated the architectural revolution of Wright's Prairie Style and inspired a generation of European modernists. After decades of neglect, the Robie House was restored between 2002 and 2015. ## Related artworks - [Armchair]() - [Avery Coonley House: dining room]() - [Avery Coonley House: front façade]() - [Avery Coonley House: garden area]() - [Avery Coonley House: living room]() - [Avery Coonley House: living room]() - [Avery Coonley House: primary bedroom]() - [Avery Coonley House: view from the garden]() - [Darwin D.
