Gee, margo, it is a Frank Lloyd Wright house, but it's not in Chicago. Wink I took this picture from an angle most people don't see - hoping it might be a bit harder to recognize it on this thread. Some trevia: The V&A museum in London has a nice display on Frank Lloyd Wright. When somebody finds the location of this picture, I'll post some of the pictures I took in London. Wink

Well - it's one of his "prairie style" houses, then.

Frederick C. Robie Residence (1906)

5757 WOODLAWN AVE., CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60637
N 41" 48.386' W 87" 35.776' MAP 32

http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Images/Chicago/storrer_robie.jpeg

The house designed for Frederick C. Robie is Wright's best expression of the Prairie masonry structure. Sheathed in Roman brick and overhung so perfectly that a midsummer noon sun barely strikes the foot of the long, glass-walled southern exposure of the raised living quarters, it demonstrates Wright's total control and appreciation of microclimatic effects. This is coupled with a high degree of integration of the mechanical and electrical systems designed by Wright into the visual expression of the interior. Living and dining space are in line, with only the fireplace?-open above the mantel?-providing separation. Sleeping quarters are a floor above, play and billiard rooms below at ground level.
With the Robie house, development of the Prairie cantilever reaches maturity. The cantilever was, to Wright, the second principle of organic design (the unit system, generating a regular grid, was the first). The west veranda is shaded by a cantilevered hip roof that reaches 10 feet from the nearest possible supporting member and 21 feet from the closest masonry pier.
Window mullions are consistently on 4-foot centers, suggesting this as the unit used by Wright in the design. The garage and its surrounding wall were later altered from the original design.
The Robie house is owned by the University of Chicago and managed by the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust. Guided tours are available.

Or is it FLW's home in Oak Park?

Although - when I look ar c.i., pic again, it seems to be away from other houses. Or is that just c.i.'s angle.

Walter is right! It's Taliesin in Scottsdale, AZ. Taliesin is a architect school and a museum. Visitors are allowed to see the inside, and talk to some of the students. If in that area, I highly recommend a visit to Taliesin.

It's a small island - but none of the mentioned.

And not in that region.
