Their primary job to withstand harsh weather makes it necessary for you to select a high-quality roof for your home. Climate changes have had a massive impact on the global environment, and every individual has some part to play.

Limestone wall plaque outside the Wright Studio (all photos by me). Chicago was a “bucket list” destination for me, one that did not disappoint. Among the reasons why is because it was in Chicago that a young Frank Lloyd Wright would first come to prominence as an entirely original talent who sought nothing less than to create a uniquely American form of architecture.

Outstanding architecture likewise provides people with places that measure up to the best they can imagine and hope for, places that are as good as they can and should
