Discounted Wright Plus 150 tickets offered in April
The Wright Plus 150 Housewalk lineup on May 20 will totals 10 private homes, a combination of Wright's early experiments and his fully formed Prairie-style homes, as well as Prairie designs and traditional styles by other architects.
Thoroughly researched presentation displays and docent-led tours are provided at each house.
In addition to the 1902 Heurtley House, it will include three other private Wright homes: the visionary Laura Gale House (1909), his Japanese-influenced Hills DeCaro House (1906), and his remodeling in the Harrison P. Young House (1895).
Also on the tour is the place where Wright's innovative Prairie homes were designed and his studio architects worked: Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio. Wright Plus tickets also include entry to Wright's Prairie-style masterpiece, the Frederick C. Robie House in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, and The Rookery in the heart of Chicago's financial district.
In addition, Wright Trust members will be able to enjoy refreshments and a tour at Wright's Thomas H. Gale House (1892).
Tickets to the Wright Plus 150 Housewalk are $100, and $90 for trust members, and are available through April 30. Starting May 1, the ticket price is $110; $95 for trust members. For more information about tickets to the Wright Plus 150 Housewalk, visit flwright.org/wrightplus.
