Description

Frank Lloyd Wright called this Unitarian temple "little jewel box" and it's easy to see why. Built of unadorned concrete, the rectangular interlocking forms contain a worship space and social hall. Remarkable restoration work in 2017 restored it to its original appearance: outside, concrete and horizontal plateaux; inside, a perfect balance of lines, natural colours, intelligent use of space protected from outside noise. A masterpiece of the Prairie style.
