There are other attractions in Chicago's Hyde Park district. Two Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces are located in Hyde Park, the Robie House (built for Frederick Robie in 1908-1909), generally accepted as one of his three to four greatest works, at the corner of East 58th Street and South Woodlawn Avenue near the University of Chicago; and the house built for Isidore Heller in 1896. I can't remember the address, but the Chicago Architectural Foundation will have it. You can tour the former for a fee. There are also two important museums, the Oriental Institute on the University of Chicago campus, with a fine collection of East Asian art and artifacts, and the huge Museum of Science and Industry at the eastern end of E. 57th Street, which has remained since my childhood in the 1950's, a favorite of elementary school students.

There are additional attractions in Chicago's Hyde Park district. Among these are the Robie House, constructed for Frederick Robie in 1908-1909 and generally considered by architectural historians as one of his greatest remaining works (5757 South Woodlawn Avenue, www.gowright.org) and two major museums. The Oriental Institute on the University of Chicago campus (oi.uchicago.edu) contains an outstanding collection of East Asian art and archaeological artifacts, while the Museum of Science and Industry (57th Street at Lake Shore Drive in Jackson Park,www.msichicago.org) is the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere and is housed in what once was the Fine Arts Building of the 1893 World's Fair--it has been since my childhood in the 1950's a preferred, and much enjoyed, expedition for elementary school classes in the Midwest.
