One of the historic places of Chicago, it catches the eyes of all the viewers and the tourists. Not only has it had a historic place in words it is a registered historic place of Chicago and considered as an asset for Chicago. The Frederick C Robbie House or simply the Robbie House is the place under discussion. Located near the Cook Country Chicago this house is a real treat to watch. Built in 1910 by the famous architect of that time Frank Lloyd Wright near the University of Chicago Robbie House has a real sentimental value for the residents of Chicago. This fact was taken home by the government and thus given the status of National Historic Landmark in 1963.

This House has really got a huge history behind its back. Apparently a house of bricks has got many ups and down associated with it. The Robbie house was only able to resident the original owners for 15 years and then they had to leave it due to their own financial problems and thus new occupants lived in the house for a very short period of time. The house was then sold and was destined to be demolished to make a commercial centre there. The government came to its rescue at that time and thus this house was restored in his original shape. It remained part of the University of Chicago for A department setup and later it was used as their Alumni’s Headquarter.

This house has been completely restored to its original shape by an expense of almost 8 million dollars.
