Robie House Restoration Pictorial Tour 10.1

The original eight-foot-high wall surrounding the garage was lowered at some point between 1925 and the 1950s. The existing wall was dismantled, original bricks and limestone set aside, and a new foundation poured. Both original and reproduction bricks were used to rebuild the wall to its 1910 height. In order to present the most accurate façade possible, original bricks were used on the side of the wall facing the street, and reproduction bricks were placed on the side facing the garage courtyard.
