Charles E. Roberts Stable
The Charles E. Roberts Stable is a renovated former barn in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, United States. The building has a long history of remodeling work including an 1896 transformation by famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The stable remodel was commissioned by Charles E. Roberts, a patron of Wright's work, the same year Wright worked on an interior remodel of Roberts' House. The building was eventually converted into a residence by Charles E. White, Jr., a Wright-associated architect, sources vary as to when this occurred but the house was moved from its original location to its present site in 1929. The home is cast in the Tudor Revival style but still displays the architectural thumb print of Wright's later work. The building is listed as a contributing property to a federally designated U.S. Registered Historic District.
==History==
Charles E. Roberts was an engineer, inventor and an important early client of Frank Lloyd Wright.〔Frank Lloyd Wright: An Autobiography, by Frank Lloyd Wright, p. 383〕 Roberts was an influential member of the building committee of Unity Temple in Oak Park.〔Frank Lloyd Wright: An Autobiography, by Frank Lloyd Wright, pp. 153, 158〕 For Roberts, Wright also developed the Quadruple Block Plan of 1900-1903.〔Frank Lloyd Wright and His Vision of the Future, by Franz Sdoutz〕 Many architectural historians have mistakenly identified Charles E. Roberts as the father of Oak Park Studio architect Isabel Roberts.〔The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, by William Allin Storer, Second Edition, p. 150〕 As has been well documented, Isabel's father was James H. Roberts of South Bend, Indiana.
In 1896 Charles E. Roberts, an established patron of Frank Lloyd Wright, commissioned two jobs by the architect. One was the Charles E. Roberts House, which Wright executed an interior remodel on and the other was the Charles E. Roberts Stable.〔"(Charles E Roberts House )," (PDF), Oak Park Landmark Nomination Form, HAARGIS Database, ''Illinois Historic Preservation Agency''. Retrieved 14 June 2007.〕 Wright redesigned the structure from an old barn into a garage for Roberts' electric car.〔O'Gorman, Thomas J. ''Frank Lloyd Wright's Chicago'', Thunder Bay Press, San Diego: 2004, pp. 100-103, (ISBN 1592231276).〕 The building was eventually converted into a residence by architect Charles E. White, Jr., Roberts' son-in-law and an employee in Wright's studio in the years 1903-1905. Sources greatly vary on the date of White's conversion.〔〔 The village of Oak Park's landmark nomination form for Wright's other Roberts project, the patron's home, puts White's conversion of the garage into a residence at in 1929, at the same time the structure was physically moved from its original location to its present location.〔 Historian Thomas O'Gorman, while noting the 1929 move, stated that the Wright-redesigned barn conversion was altered into a dwelling between 1903 and 1904. O'Gorman connects White's remodel to the sheer overhaul the building experienced under Wright's creative thumb.〔
