Edward R. Hills Residence - Oak Park, Illinois
313 Forest Avenue - In 1906 Frank Lloyd Wright remodeled this home to something resembling its current state. Since then it has been remodeled, mostly destroyed by fire, restored, remodeled and restored. I don't think I've ever read about a house that's gone back and forth so much between owners wanting to change it and ones wanting to restore it to its 1906 incarnation.

Nathan G. Moore Residence - Oak Park, Illinois
333 Forest Avenue - Originally built in 1895 in the Tudor style and then rebuilt in 1923 after fire damaged the home with some restyling to make it more Wright-ish (Wait, is that a word? It is now!).

Metra Station Entrance - Chicago, Illinois
Michigan Avenue - I love this Metra Station entrance for the Van Buren Street Station. The Art Nouveau-style Paris Metro entrance was a gift to Chicago from the city of Paris in 2001.
