The Wright Stuff

Noted: This time, the house avoided demolition when a development firm called Webb & Knapp purchased the house from the Seminary, using it as offices for their Hyde Park operations. Two fraternity chapters with houses in the neighboring area—one of which briefly had Wright as a member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison—also offered to vacate their premises, giving the Seminary ample space to expand and eliminating the need to demolish the Robie House.
