The Robie House

Over the course of his long career, Wright witnessed tremendous advances in technology and transportation. While many of Wright’s early buildings included carriage houses, the Robie House heralds the arrival of the modern age with its unique three-car garage.

Roger Brown Study Collection

Small-scale vehicles of all stripes are parked throughout the Roger Brown Study Collection. Just to name a few, renderings of transport appear in toys, models, carved balsa concept cars, in ceramic planters, and on a 1960s lunchbox. The real thing––Brown's 1967 Ford Mustang––is parked in the garage, waiting for guests to sink into its bucket seats, inhale the aroma of vintage leather, embrace the quiet, and imagine turning the key.
