First-time visitors driving up Sheridan Road through Chicago's North Shore suburbs can't miss Wilmette's most striking landmark: the Baha'i House of Worship, whose dome rises 135 feet above its main floor.
Move further inland from Lake Michigan, and you're in one of Chicago's coziest bedroom communities. A bit less monumental - but no less significant - than the temple, are the numerous examples of Prairie School architecture throughout the village, including two Frank Lloyd Wright homes.
