The Village of Oak Park\u2019s historic commission has rejected the proposed expansion of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio<\/a>, Illinois.<\/p>\n

The commission has unanimously rejected the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust<\/a>\u2019s plan to move or demolish one home adjacent to the celebrated architect\u2019s home and studio, and alter another, Chicago Tribune<\/a><\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

Designed by architect John Ronan<\/a>, the proposal included a state-of-the-art expansion with increased indoor and outdoor capacity by more than 1858 m2<\/sup> (20,000 sf).<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to directly impacting two historic buildings in the district, we believe this proposal would permanently and negatively alter the character of this historic area, which is visited annually by thousands of people from around the world who come to experience this singular place where Frank Lloyd Wright refined Prairie School architecture,\u201d said Jennifer Sandy, associate field director at the National Trust for Historic Preservation.<\/p>\n

Subsequent to the vote, the trust said, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune<\/em>, \u201cThe Frank Lloyd Wright Trust will not exercise its option to appeal the decision of the Oak Park Historic Preservation Commission, but will reconsider its plan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
