I don’t have a particular Wright favorite, but I wanted to share that the office where I work (in the Monroe Building in downtown Chicago) was once one of Wright’s offices. One of our meeting rooms was originally his personal office, and there are still blueprint vaults in one wall of that room.
OK, the Illinois is just shear lunacy (and probably also sheer lunacy, given the stresses wind would put on it).
I never laughed so long
So long
So long

I spent hours here as a youngster. I was friends with the daughter of the owners.
Aw, hell. I love ALL of Wright’s buildings. I have to tip my hat to the one on Maiden Lane in San Francisco, just east of Union Square. Because when you’re walking around Frisco, you don’t EXPECT to tun into a Wright building.
Note the cool “Doctor No” skylight.
Linky no worky. How about this?: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b1/K._C._DeRhodes_House%2C_May_2011.jpg
Yodoko house is right near where I live and the only remaining Wright house left in Japan.
It is currently under renovation so you’ll have to wait 2 years to visit it. It has an interesting history in that the family that commissioned it fought with Wright over the interior deisgn - Wright didn’t want tatami rooms, but the owner insisted on them.
Many thanks! I suck at linking. 
Given what FLW had to work with in the late Fifties, that’s probably true. However, PBS’s Nova had an interesting documentary a few years ago arguing that there is now no practical engineering upper limit as to how high skyscrapers can be built; it’s just a matter of cost.
Another favorite - the Ennis House:
Wow, your wife is lucky! That is a great house. My U of Chicago friends and I got high many times as we walked within a couple feet of the Robie House (it was between our dorm and campus), but I think we were usually sober when we went inside it.
…Another cool thing about the Cooley House is its connections to two of the greatest American landscape architects: Frederick Law Olmsted (who did the site planning for all of Riverside), and Jens Jensen (the Danish-born designer who did the exterior areas of the property).
Mayan Revival! Awesome.
That is fantastic – I’d never heard of it before! The profile of the narrow end, at the edge of that steep hillside … haunting and beautiful.
Wow, that’s terrific! The interior is reminiscent of Johnson Wax, Marin County Courthouse, and the Guggenheim, yet is totally its own thing.
I used to ride my bike by that every morning in the summer on my way to
my job at Blackhawk Country Club.
I could see it from the baseball field too. I should have spent more time watching the opponent’s pitchers.
It’s the softball field now. Right by Picnic Point.
One could also argue that there is a practical engineering upper limit, and that most skyscrapers are nonetheless over it. As I saw pointed out some time shortly after 9/11, if an architect designed a single-story building a half-mile long with exits only at one end, it’d never pass code.
The wonderful thing about old age is that I remember Wright, one of my heroes, during his lifetime, speaking on live TV interviews, such as with Ed Murrow in his cloud of cigarette smoke… Wright was asked why he does not honor veterans or servicemen, he said “Because they are warriors”.
oops
I live around the corner from the Hollyhock House. We occasionally have picnics there. And I can kind of see the Ennis house from my backyard.
