Unity Temple
A reinforced-concrete Unitarian meeting house in Oak Park, completed in 1908, and an early landmark of modern American religious architecture.
Instead of masonry Gothic forms, Wright shaped a geometric concrete worship box.
A lofty interior, galleries, and stained-glass daylight create solemnity without conventional ornament.
Its union of material experiment and sacred space reveals a different side of Wright from his Prairie houses.
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright
