Unity Temple is a Unitarian Universalist church in Oak Park, Illinois, and the home of the Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation. It was designed by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and built between 1905 and 1908. Unity Temple is considered to be one of Wright's most important structures dating from the first decade of the twentieth century. Because of its consolidation of aesthetic intent and structure through use of a single material, reinforced concrete, Unity Temple is considered by many architects to be the first modern building in the world. This idea became of central importance to the modern architects who followed Wright, such as Mies Van Der Rohe, and even the post-modernists, such as Frank Gehry.Put Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple at the forefront of your travel plans using our Oak Park online travel route planner.
Unity Temple is located at 875 Lake Street, Oak Park Illinois. (The Unitarian Universalist congregation that owns and worships in Unity Temple was formed in 1871, and has no connection with Unity Church, a religious organization founded in 1889.)

Nice example of FLW's work, a 20 minute walk in beautiful Oak Park from his home and studio. Tour on tape was available for a nominal fee.

Unity Temple. What more is to be said? Much much more. I enjoy this edifice, I love this artistic building. Quiz: who designed this space? (I know you got the answer before you finished reading that last sentence!) On the National Register of Historic Places since 1970. Constructed in the Prairie style, completed in 1908 - dedicated 1909. The interior geometry relaxes and satisfies my inner Zen and chi. So here are my humble descriptions of the building interior as photographs.... taken 2009. Thank you.

Brilliant! This temple is in excellent condition and worth seeing if you’re a FLW fan or just love architecture. The audio self tour takes 30 min for $15.
