1998 - 32c #3182o - Celebrate the Century Limited Edition stamp series. The 1900's
ROBIE HOUSE, CHICAGO. "Frank Lloyd Wright is considered one of the nation's most innovative architects. The masterpiece of his early work, constructed in the Prairie House style, is the Robie House in Chicago." This stamp featuring Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House was released on Feb. 4, 1998 as part of a series of stamps that honored important people and events of the 20th century. At a ceremony at Robie House, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled the new stamp and recognized two Laboratory Schools students who won a contest, sponsored by the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Foundation, to design the corresponding Robie House cancellation stamp. The winning designs, chosen from among 200 entries submitted by students in Hyde Park schools, were created by third-grader Anne Wildman and eighth grader Walker Thisted. Final image was illustrated by Richard Waldrep of Sparks, Maryland. Widely recognized as America's most famous architect, Wright made significant contributions to modern architecture during his prolific 70-year career. Completed in 1910, Robie House epitomizes Wright's signature Prairie style, featuring sweeping horizontal planes and a low-pitched roof cantilevered dramatically beyond the walls, and a lightness and transparency provided by 174 art-glass windows and doors. The Robie House stamp is the eighth of 30 stamps to be unveiled over 30 consecutive days as part of the Postal Service's Celebrate the Century program. The 30 stamps commemorate the first two decades of the century. (Six copies of the single stamp.) Scott Catalog USA: #3182o.
