Wright's lifelong infatuation with Arts & Crafts morphing into Deco/Moderne only accelerated with time...contrary to prevailing styles. The forward looking Westhope and Robie House were on the right track to being icons of modernism. Unfortunately, as he matured, he became more obsessed with finicky details of window trim, roofline and pointless doodads slathered over the walls and ceilings like butter on boiled corn. Any innovation he is credited with is overshadowed by the quaintness of the peculiar details that are quintessentially Wright's unique designs.
