Question:

I am in chicago & want to take a driving tour to see architect Frank LLoyd Wrights House's.?

I either need address's or a map of where the houses are located. I have a car and do not want to take a group tour. Has someone has found a website with this info? Thanks for your help! :)

Oak Park, Illinois is home to the world's largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings and houses, with 25 structures built between 1889 and 1913.

I used the Book: "A Guide to Oak Park's Frank Lloyd Wright and Prairie School Historic District" to plan my driving tour of the area. It runs about $22.00.

However, I would also recommend the "Frank Lloyd Wright Field Guide," which covers all of FLW's buildings. It runs about $40.

Both books will give us the locations and a description of each bilding. They can be found on amazon and from the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust. http://www.wrightcatalog.org/

Also, it should be noted that the Oak Park Tourist has a map of the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District. http://www.oprf.com/flw/index.html...

The Historic District also sells a street map of the area: "Frank Lloyd Wright Oak Park/River Forest Architectural Map" for about $3.95.

If you are not getting a book, this $3.95 street map is a must have to tour the Oak Park area. It is self guided and number all the homes in the area. the back lists the number house, its address, the name of the home, and the year that the home was built.

In any event, I would suggest that you contact the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio (which is run by the FLW Preservation Trust). They may also used to sell the map.

The Home and Studio also has Audio and Walking Tour Guides for the immediate area. They are very informative and fun. You can save some gas (and the environment) by walking to some of the buildings. http://www.wrightplus.org/tours/tours.ph...

A web listing of the buildings can be found at:
