Ukuba esi siqithi sabucala siyathengiswa kunye namakhaya amabini kaFrank Lloyd Wright asikho kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali, musa ukubila. Unokufumana ukuzaliswa kwe-Prairie School-style architecture ngaphaya kweChicago, apho i-icon ye-architect ye-Robie House ivulekele ukutyelela emva kweprojekthi yokubuyisela eyi-11 yezigidi.
Eyakhelwe ukulawulwa kwezithuthuthu uFrederick C. Robie ngo-1910, iRobie House ithathwa njengenye yezona zinto zimangalisayo zokwakha zenkulungwane yama-20. Ibonisa ubuninzi beempawu zoyilo zikaWright, kubandakanya imigca ethe tyaba, iifestile zeglasi ekhokelwa ngokwesiko, iindawo zokuhlala ezinomoya, kunye nokuwisa umhlathi, kuchaphazela abayili banamhlanje kwiminyaka ezayo.
Kodwa njengomgxeki wezakhiwo UBlair Kamin amanqaku, iRobie House yayingakhathalelwanga luthotho lwabanini kule minyaka idlulileyo. Ukusuka kumnyango wayo wangaphambili weglasi uqhekezwa ngexesha loqhankqalazo lwabafundi ngeminyaka yoo-1960 ukugcina izitena ezomeleleyo kunye nezisongelo zokudilizwa, ubume babandezeleka de iYunivesithi yaseChicago yabona uFrank Lloyd Wright Trust engenzi nzuzo njengegosa lango 1997.

Iinxalenye zokubuyiselwa kwekhaya ziqhubekile ukusukela ngo-2002, kodwa namhlanje, emva kweeveki ezisibhozo zomsebenzi omkhulu wokulondolozwa ngaphakathi-inqanaba lokugqibela leprojekthi-esi sakhiwo siphinde sabuya saqaqamba. Enye yefanitshala yayo yoqobo eyilelwe nguWright, kubandakanya itafile yokutyela kunye nezitulo, zibuyiselwe ekhaya, ngelixa iziseko kunye nezinye izinto ziphinde zenziwa zabuyiselwa.
Isicwangciso somgangatho ovulekileyo wegumbi lokuhlala esibonisa indawo yokubuyisela umlilo, kwaye ngaphandle, uphahla lwecantilevered luqinisiwe. Umbala wombala wasekwindla weRobie House ubuyile, nawo, ubonakalisa umbala omthubi, isalmon, kunye neendonga ezenziwe nge-ocher kunye nee-aksenti. Iitoni zomhlaba kunye nemigca eqaqambileyo ichaza ubugcisa beSikolo sePrairie, esaphefumlelwa yimimandla ethe tyaba, emthubi namthubi eMidwest.
