Frank Lloyd Wright’s Emil Bach House & Milwaukee's City Hall
Songs About Buildings and Moods Episode 5 | 27m 50s | CC
The Emil Bach house by Frank Lloyd Wright is a gem on Chicago’s north side and a perfect example of his signature Prarie-style architecture. Milwaukee's City Hall has been a civic icon since it opened in 1895. Its striking Flemish Renaissance style is an homage to the German immigrants who helped build Milwaukee.
