Unity Temple, 1905-1908, Frank Lloyd Wright, 875 Lake St.
One of the most important Wright's building in the beginning of the 20th century. Many people think it's the first modern building. Concrete only. Double core: the taller side is the Temple, and the shorter side is the House. No window at the street side. Lighting mostly from roof windows with yellow and green stained glass.
Wright said when he designed this building, for the first time he realized that the true soul of a building is not wall but space.

This photo exhibits unity though its simplicity. The pale blue background contrasts well with the plants, and shows how though they are all small branches on blossoms on their own, with as many as there are shown here, they form one object and draw the viewers eyes.
Part of a multiple property study entitled Black Metropolis
Cook County, IL
Listed: 04/30/1986
Erected as a prominent Jewish social club in 1887, the building achieved its greatest significance as the home of the People’s Movement Club, a pioneering black social organization led by Oscar DePriest.
Beginning in 1917, Unity Hall was the headquarters of the Peoples Movement Club, a political organization headed by Oscar Stanton De Priest, the primary leader in the drive for fair political representation in Black Metropolis. From the time of his arrival, De Priest was deeply interested in the political structure of the city, and his involvement soon resulted in his election as a Cook County Commissioner in 1904. As the black population grew during the first decade of the century, a movement began to establish representation for the black community in Chicago's municipal government. De Priest formed careful alliances with the white Republican political bosses who controlled the Black Metropolis wards, broadening his political support. Aspirations for black representation in the City Council were realized in 1915, when De Priest defeated three black and five white candidates in the Republican primary for the Second Ward aldermanic post, and with the combined support of the community and the white Republican Party bosses, was the first black to be elected to the City Council. De Priest took an active role in attending to the needs and goals of his constituents, one of his most controversial acts being an ordinance which he proposed to the City Council in 1916 which would have revoked the business license of any establishment that discriminated in providing goods and services on the basis of race. The ordinance met with vigorous opposition and was dropped from further consideration by the City Council.
Upon election, De Priest sought to establish a new political organization supported from within the black community, creating the Peoples Movement Club in 1917. The Peoples Movement Club political organization remained one of the best organized political groups in Black Metropolis. De Priest later became Third Ward Committeeman in 1924, and in 1928 had the distinction of being the first black from the North to be elected to the United States House of Representatives, serving for three consecutive terms.
Had to trawl back through old photos for this month's iPlymouth competition when I came across this one which I thought might fit the bill (and give you a laugh at the same time!!)

UNITY CHAPEL (1886), Spring Green, WI. The Lloyd Jones family immigrated from Wales in the 1840’s to escape persecution in the UK. They hired the Chicago architect Joseph L. Silsbee to design the “cottage church”. Frank Lloyd Wright, working for Silsbee, was assigned to supervise the interior, although it is speculated that his involvement may have been greater. He was accredited as the draftsman and the construction supervisor for Silsbee. Wright was greatly disappointed that his uncle, Lloyd Jones, did not allow him to design what would have been his first project. Wright (1867 - 1959) was 19.

A piece of History gone for ever. Every time I pass the old country store in Unity SC I have to stop and take a picture. I was sadden today to see the old gas pump had been removed. I just hope it is being restored and not just thrown in the scrap yard,
