Chicago’s individual-landmark register credits Frank Lloyd Wright on 11 of its 412 entries as retrieved August 9, 2026: 10 list him as the sole architect, and one — the James Charnley House on Astor Street — carries the shared credit “Adler and Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright.” All 11 are below in construction-date order, from 1891 to a 1917 pair on South Hoyne Avenue. The scope is the register’s own attributions, nothing more: Wright buildings inside Chicago’s landmark districts, Wright buildings never designated, and everything in Oak Park — a separate municipality — are outside this list. Our full analysis of the register covers how designation has run era by era and area by area. These are records of designation, and this page takes no position on where anyone should live or invest.

Questions these numbers can answer
How many Frank Lloyd Wright buildings are on Chicago’s landmark register? Eleven entries credit him — 10 as sole architect, plus the James Charnley House’s shared credit with Adler and Sullivan — out of 412 individually designated landmarks as retrieved August 9, 2026. The register’s attributions, not this page’s: buildings in landmark districts or outside the register are not counted.
Is the Robie House a Chicago landmark? Yes — the register records the Frederick C. Robie House at 5757 S Woodlawn Avenue, built 1909, designated in 1971, the register’s second year of designations.
Where are the Wright entries? Spread across eight community areas: two in Hyde Park on the same street, three in Beverly, and one each on the Near North Side, in Douglas, East Garfield Park, West Pullman, Austin, and Rogers Park.
Where these numbers come from
City of Chicago Individual Landmarks dataset (uct4-hrvh), retrieved August 9, 2026 — every entry whose architect field names Frank Lloyd Wright, in construction-date order using each entry’s first recorded year. Architect attributions are the register’s own. Chicago’s landmark districts are a separate register not counted here, and community areas are assigned from each entry’s own footprint against the city’s boundary polygons, per the parent analysis’s method: Chicago Has 412 Individual Landmarks. More Than Half Were Designated Under One Mayor.
