Prairie School
The RobieHouse is one of the best known examples of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie style of architecture.
The term "Prairie School" was not actually used by these architects to describe themselves ; the term was coined by H. Allen Brooks, one of the first architectural historians to write extensively about these architects and their work.
The Prairie school shared an embrace of handcrafting and craftsman guilds as a reaction against the new assembly line, mass production manufacturing techniques, which they felt created inferior products and dehumanized workers.
