His father was Fred C Robie. He entered Purdue University in September 1895 while he was only 16. He left in February 1899, before graduating to work for his father. He met Lora Hieronymus at a dance at the University of Chicago. Frederick and Lora continued their relationship, and on June 30, 1902 they were married. Their first child Fred Robie Jr. was born in February 19, 1907. They had a second child, a daughter by the name of Lorraine. They purchased the lot at 5757 Woodlawn on April 8, 1908 for $13,500. They contacted Wright in 1908 and by March 1909 plans were complete. Construction was complete, and they moved in during the early part of 1910. Frederick worked for his father, and when he passed away on July 18, 1909, the businesses had to be sold to pay back the debts his father had incurred. Lora Robie moved out of the home in April 1911, and took both children with her. Frederick sold the house in December 1911 to David Lee Taylor, president of the advertising agency Taylor-Critchfield Co. Frederick and Lora were divorced in March, 1912. David Lee Taylor passed away in October 1912. His wife sold the house in November 1912 to Marshall Dodge and Isadora Wilber. They had two daughters, Marcia and Jeannette. Mrs. Wilber recorded in her diary on November 18, 1912 that they had purchased the "red Robie’s house" and that six others had wanted the home. During the first few years living in the home, their daughter Marcia became gravely ill and passed away November 1916 at the age of 25. They lived there for nearly fourteen years and sold it to the neighboring Chicago Theological Seminary on June 9, 1926. Although his home remained in the spotlight, Robie faded from view. Soon after his divorce, he moved to New York, where he worked as an automobile   Lora Hieronymus Robie 1902   salesman. He returned to Chicago, but was unable to find work, and later moved to Detroit. He surfaced again when at their request Fred C. Jr. interviewed his father for the October 1958 issue of Architectural Forum. Lora Hieronymus Robie was born on May 14, 1878 in Peoria, Illinois. Her father was Benjamin R. Hieronymus. She began attending the University of Chicago in 1896 and met Frederick Robie at a dance at the University. She graduated in June of 1900 and returned to Springfield where her family now lived and taught ninth grade at the Lawrence School. The Lawrence School was named after Rheuna D Lawrence, president of the board, after his death in 1901. He was the father of Susan Lawrence Dana (1902 - S.072). Frederick and Lora continued their relationship, and on June 30, 1902 they were married. Their first child Fred Robie Jr. was born in February 19, 1907. Their daughter Lorraine was born on December 2, 1909. Financial struggles took its toll, Lora Robie moved out of the home in April 1911, and took both children with her. She headed back home to Springfield Illinois and took up teaching to support her children. She filed for divorce in January 1912, claiming infidelity, and was granted a divorce in March, 1912. She became the dean of girls at Springfield High School in the 1920s, then opened a bookstore in 1927. She even broadcast a weekly book review on the radio. She became the manager of the book department at Myers Brothers Department Store, a large department store in Springfield. The book department was situated in a balcony alcove above the first floor. Lora would sit in a chair to give book reviews to shoppers. She passed away on January 3, 1947. Her obituary mentioned that the chair on the book balcony would stand empty.       Robie House. According to “Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House”, Hoffmann 1984, Robie sold the house in December 1911 to David Lee Taylor (page 89).  David died in October, 1912 and his wide sold the Robie House to Marshall Dodge Wilber in November 1912 (page 90).  Wilber sold the house to the Chicago Theological Seminary on June 9, 1926 for $90,000 (page 92).  William Zeckendorf bought the Robie House in August 1958 for $125,000, and used it temporarily as an office for Webb & Knapp, his development firm.  In February 1963 he gave the Robie House to the University of Chicago.  The house was remodeled for the Adlai E. Stevenson Institute of International Affairs, later it served as an office for university development, and most recently (1984) as the office of alumni affairs, (page 94). Excepts from FLWBC, 2007: The Robie House was initially threatened in 1941 when the Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS) decided to tear it down in favor of a new building that would better suit their needs. CTS had owned and operated the Robie House since 1926, using it primarily as a dormitory, a function never intended by Frank Lloyd Wright. Several sources note that Wright involved himself in saving the building at this time, and that other leading international architects (including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Ludwig Hilberseimer, and Walter Peterhans) and museum directors rallied to keep the Robie House standing. A successful committee to preserve the Robie House was led by Chicago area architect William F. Deknatel. That same year, a round-table discussion group, led by Henry-Russell Hitchcock and composed of prominent American professors and curators of architecture, met to organize support for the preservation of historic architectural monuments, noting the possible demolition of the Robie house as a “catastrophe” and issuing a call to action.        The proposed 1941 demolition was forestalled, possibly interrupted in part by America’s involvement in WWII and the resulting impact on the availability of building materials. However, the perilous future of the Robie House continued to evoke strong responses from well-known academics, curators, and architects over the following years. In correspondence to Chicago architect Alfred Shaw from 1951, architect and curator Philip Johnson expressed his concern, as well as that of MoMA Director of Collections Alfred Barr, over a rumor that CTS was again attempting to destroy the Robie House.        In 1957, the Chicago Theological Seminary once more publicly proposed tearing down the Robie House. (See 1957 photos and scrapbook) Ironically, this news came on the tail of the Robie House being recognized in Architectural Record as the most significant house of the previous fifty years by an esteemed panel of architects. Upon learning of then-CTS president McGiffert’s plans to replace the Robie House   with a new dormitory, architects and Chicago aldermen alike were propelled to action. These included G.E. Kidder-Smith, who sent out telegrams to “important politicians, historians, college presidents, architects, etc.” to rally support, and Leon Despres, Hyde Park Alderman who subsequently organized a committee on preserving historic architecture, headed by chief officer of the Art Institute of Chicago, Daniel Catton Rich. In a recent oral history Despres notes that Tom Stauffer, a professor and architectural historian, was instrumental in rallying support as well, as he “got architects in western Europe to telephone and cable and write about what a terrible thing this was that Chicago was destroying the Robie House.” Again, Frank Lloyd Wright revisited the Robie House in order to bring widespread attention to its fate and several committees were formed to mobilize action. Again William Deknatel became involved in committee work to save the Robie House, in addition to the architectural historian William S. McDonald, who chaired the newly formed Committee to Preserve the Robie House. An “alert committee” was also formed as a joint effort between the AIA and the Society of Architectural Historians with Earl H. Reed, chairman of the AIA Committee for the Preservation of Historic Buildings, as head. Additional action to save the Robie House from destruction came from Charles Nitschke, architect and editor of the Architectural Record, who encouraged a letter-writing campaign, and Vincent Scully’s architecture students at Yale, who also contributed to letter-writing campaigns. William Hartmann, architect with Skidmore Owing and Merill, worked with Deknatel and contacted I.M. Pei, who was working for Webb and Knapp at the time. Ultimately, William Zeckendorf of Webb and Knapp bought the Robie House in December, saving it from demolition.        In addition to being named the most significant house of the years 1907-1957 by Architectural Record, 1957 also saw the Robie House designated as a landmark by the Chicago Commission of Architectural Heritage and as the “House of the Century” by House and Home magazine. On the heels of the Robie House being saved from imminent destruction, its value in the context of American and international architecture was reaffirmed by leading architects and writers, including poet Carl Sandburg, whose “Ode to the Robie House” was published in the February 1959 issue of Interiors. In subsequent years, committee work strengthened as efforts to preserve the building were put in place. The Robie House Committee (later the Committee for the Preservation of Robie House), chaired by Ira J. Bach, Chicago City Planning Commissioner, was organized in late 1962 and included a long list of notable Chicagoans and influential international architects and academics such as: Sigfried Giedion, Bertrand Goldberg, Walter Gropius, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., Lewis Mumford, Mies van der Rohe, and William Wurster.                   BLUE PRINTS     Date: 1909 Title: Frederick Robie House Blue Prints 1909 (1906 - S.127).

Description: Two original wall sconces used in a number of Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie house commissions. We have identified ten Wright designed homes and buildings, to date, where these fixtures are used. Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio (1889-1911), Westcott (1904), Robie (1906), Coonley Residence (1907) and Coach House (1911), Meyer May (1908), Isabel Roberts (1908), Hotel Geneva (1911), Oscar Balch (1911), Allen (1916).        Not only did Frank Lloyd Wright design houses and building, but the furnishings and lighting. Lighting styles included the chandelier, the single- and double-pedestal table lamps and wall sconces.        Sconces are manufactured in brass and mahogany. The brass base is square: 3.906" x 3.906" x 0.59". Brass pins in the center of each side holds the wood in place. Four brass screws hold the pedestal in place. The socket assembly and screws also appear to be brass. Stamped on the exterior of the socket assembly: “Perkins. Pat. June 13-99. 3 A. 250 V.” A round “nut” with a threaded tube is embedded in the wood base. The socket is screwed to the threaded tube and secured by a small headless screw. Although the socket is clearly manufactured by Perkins, the sconce itself has no manufacturing marks. Some of these sconces had pull cords to turn the light off and on, this set did not. Providence Toomey & Co. Size: The wood base within the brass is square: 3.75" x 3.75" x .5". The brass pedestal is a sleeve that slides over the electrical socket. The square base of the pedestal is 3.4375' x 3.4375". The neck of the pedestal is square and is 1.75" x 1.75" x 2.28". The top of the pedestal is 2.125" x 2.125" x 31". Overall height: 3.25".
