Architectural Pop Quiz

Just got back last night from an out-of-town reunion with my bestest buds from college that was planned at the last minute. It’s not often that I can be so spontaneous. Bonus points if you can figure out where I was (from this low quality cell phone photo).

    The Robie House is one of my favorite Wright designs. It’s construction over 90 years ago transformed housing construction and freed architects to abandon the use of “doodads” as Robie called the ornamental details so prevalent in other designs at the time.

    Thanks for posting the photo - and congrats to kitty!
