In television broadcast 5, Sandra Millikin discusses the Robie House built in the Hyde Park district of Chicago in 1909. The residence represents a culmination of the house type which Wright developed in the 1890s, in what has become known as the “Prairie” style. Millikin demonstrates Wright’s concern with materials and his masterly organization of space.
