Frank Lloyd Wright In Oak Park, The Edward H, Cheney House
The Edward H, Cheney House
520 N. East
A little bit east and north of the Wright Historic District are two gems by the prairie school master and are well worth visiting. First we have the Edward H, Cheney House which was built in 1903. It’s a quietly stunning house that is so low to the ground it seems to be part of the landscape.
It was the construction of this house when Mr. Wright began an affair scandalous long running affair with Mrs. Cheney. That culminated in 1909 when Wright abandoned practice and traveled Europe with Mrs. Cheney. He eventually left Oak Park as well leaving it build his country estate Taliesin in Wisconsin. The affair ended tragically in 1914 when an insane servant slaughtered Mrs. Cheney and the children while Wright was away.
We have posted an HD video of this home on ChiTownView YouTube.
ChiTownView also has posted clips of every Wright home in the Oak Park / River Forest area and a great many of the others in the Chicago area. We have a playlist with them and other Wright related videos here.
