Oak Park Audio Tour: Wright’s Legacy and Landmarks of Samuel A Rothermel Houses

Audio guide14 stops

Between shadowy brick towers and radical prairie facades, Oak Park hides more secrets than its tranquil streets suggest. Behind every column and pane of glass, drama and innovation once sparked revolutions in American thought and architecture. This self-guided audio tour leads you deep into the heart of the city, past monumental masterpieces like Unity Temple and the Edward R. Hills House, to reveal the stories and struggles that shaped their foundations. Discover what other visitors miss: daring clashes, hidden rebellions, and the oddities that hide in plain sight. Why did a single decision at Oak Park and River Forest High School spark outrage across generations? What mysteries echo within the geometric silence of Unity Temple? And which forgotten rivalry played out silently behind the doors of Samuel A Rothermel Houses? Trace the footsteps of visionaries and troublemakers. Dive into moments of high drama and quiet conspiracy. See Oak Park transformed before your eyes. Press play and unlock the layers beneath the stone.
