Frank Lloyd Wright added a studio to his Oak Park home in 1898. Here he experimented with light and form, and conceived the concepts of Prairie architecture. At the business entrance, columns are decked with symbolic designs. According to the official guidebook for the house and studio:

"The book of knowledge issues from the tree of life, a symbol of natural growth. A scroll of architectural plans unrolls from it. On either side are sentry storks, perhaps symbols of wisdom and fertility."
