Built between the years 1905 and 1908 in Oak Park, Illinois, Unity Temple is often considered one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most important structures. Wright's use of a single material, reinforced concrete, and his efficient use of space make Unity Temple one of the first modernist buildings in the world and influenced many future modernist and post-modernists.
The Atom Brick Unity Temple set highlights the total structure and use of casted concrete to create areas of interest on the façade. Builders will gain appreciation for the innovation of a building designed and built over 100 years ago.

Unity Chapel dates back to 1766 when two Presbyterian missionaries visited the Latrobe area, which was on the remote frontier region at the time.
They began holding worship services for what became known as the Unity congregation on a farm in the area. In 1774, founder of Pennsylvania William Penn’s grandsons deeded 60 acres to Unity trustees to construct a “meeting house,” where a log church was built. Some of the adjacent land became a burial ground from the frontier settlers.
Unfortunately for that congregation, the log church was destroyed by fire in the winter of 1829-30. Its members then constructed a larger red brick church in 1830. By 1874 though, that building was demolished and replaced by another smaller red brick church which stand here today. The adjacent cemetery is the final resting place to some of the area early settlers. It is also the final resting place of Fred Rogers who was the host of the popular children's TV Program, "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood."
I just got my September KOM from Unity Stamp Co. I love this design. I stamped it first with black and then watermarked it. I then put Embossing powder on the background (Blue, Green and Yellow). From there I stamped the design again with Versamark and embossed the design in Black. I filled in the house with Grey Embossing powder with my Versamark Pen. It was a lot and I think I could perfect this technique...but I like how it turned out.
