    Unity Temple (1906-1908) proved that concrete can be beautiful. The lack of windows reduces street noise while stained glass windows in the roof and clerestories provide natural light to parishioners.

    Not to be missed Frank Lloyd Wright. A masterpiece. Do 1 hour guided tour - exterior & interior. The Interior is awesome - light from skylights above is beautiful. NOT MAYAN INFLUENCED.

    In recounting his experiences with Unity Temple, Wright once stated that this particular design was the first time he ever realized that the real heart of a building is its space, not its walls.

    Hope that God's wrath will rain down on those who stole the lettering.

    Look for Mayan influences in the design.
