Oak Park is known for its splendid tree-lined streets, its diverse population and a storied history that includes being the birthplace of Ernest Hemingway and comedy great Bob Newhart, among many other notables. Famed architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright lived in Oak Park for 20 years, from 1889 until 1909 — walking around Oak Park, you are very likely to pass a house designed by the architectural master, perhaps even the home and studio where he worked and raised a family.
