This tour will begin traveling the streets of Chicago towards the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum and Studio located in Oak Park. This extraordinary building was the Wright family residence from 1889 to 1909. Wright began the construction of this house in 1889 shortly after his marriage to Catherine Tobin. The Wright family - Frank and Catherine, and their six children - lived here while he developed his architectural practice, creating what became the "Prairie Style" of architecture. The studio annex was completed in 1898, and is one of the most marvelous workspaces to be imagined! The reception area; the octagonal designed hanging lights in the drafting room; the presentation library; and much more. After this tour guests will be dropped off at a local Chicago restaurant for a leisurely lunch and then off to First Lady Cruises Chicago's Architecture Tour. This tour on the river will showcase Chicago’s world renowned city architecture with style, class and comfort aboard an open air and air-conditioned seated ship. You will learn about the architecture and design of over 50 buildings with CAF certified docents/guides.

Do not miss out on a day of mesmerizing architectural Chicago History.
