From introduction: "In an effort to raise funds for restoration [of the Robie House in Chicago], our first project was an exhibition of [Frank Lloyd] Wright's Prairie School furniture designs presented in the context of his contemporaries. This book is a photographic essay of that exhibition with the addition of some rare, hitherto unpublished photographs of the construction of the Robie House and measured drawings of his furniture." Exhibition was at the gallery of the Architecture Building at the UIUC campus Sept. 15-Oct. 1, 1965.
