Unity Temple is not only a prime example of Frank Lloyd Wright's legendary architecture and a modern house of worship; it's also an artistic setting for concerts by the temple choir, Chicago a cappella and other musical groups. The temple space, framed by three rectilinear balconies, allows an audience of 400 to sit within an intimate 45 feet of the pulpit platform.

Discover why Wright called this 1905 creation his "little jewel" during a self-guided (daily) or docent-led tour (weekends only). Custom group tours available by reservation.
