Tom and Judy Visit

Crown Point is famous or infamous for being

the place where John Dillinger escaped jail.

There is a really cool museum here in the old

courthouse downtown.  Judy and I took the tour

while the guys watched football.

 

 

 The Arts commission here in Crown Point

secured an exhibit of Seward Johnson sculptures.

Here is one of my favorite.  I loved the

hula hoop.

                                                

 

That evening we went to Indiana Dunes and

took a nice walk on the beach. 

 

 

On Sunday we went to Oak Park to tour the

Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio.

We can't go anywhere without a tailgate.

This is his home in Oak Park. 

 

The rest of these are homes he designed on

this same street.  Although we mostly think of him

with the "Prairie Style", that isn't all he built and

designed.

 

 

This little structure below was actually a

ticket booth at the 1893 Expo in Chicago. Read

all about that in "Devil in the White City" by

Erik Larson.

 

 

This is the home he designed for his lover

Mamah Borthwick.  Read about that in "Loving Frank"

It is also in Oak Park within walking distance.



 

Hate to say goodbye but we had a great weekend.
