Attend a special evening with the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust and author Kristine Hansen, in conversation with Chicagoland homeowners about their stewardship of Frank Lloyd Wright homes. As Hansen interviewed homeowners for her book Frank Lloyd Wright’s Illinois (published this spring with Simon & Schuster), she heard fascinating stories about care and preservation of the homes, set within the textures of everyday life.

Hansen will share the stage with these Wright stewards at greater length in a special public conversation on Tuesday, October 27 at the Nineteenth Century Club in Oak Park, IL.

Book sales and signing to follow Q&A. Public tickets are $10.
