For some, dream trips consist of long walks along abandoned, exotic beaches or a culinary tour of Italy or France or even a road trip across Australia.
For us, one of our dreams is to tour the homes and architectural marvels of Frank Lloyd Wright. Though we would hardly call ourselves experts on the topic, there are so many stunning examples of his work around the country it would make for an engaging trip.
Here are 19 homes and places designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that are open to the public to this day.
The Annie Pfeiffer Chapel and William H. Danforth Chapel, Florida Southern College, Lakeland, Florida
