I don't think it's so creepy...unless you squint while looking at the photo. Then it becomes a giant grey blob with a human head. And that's terrifying.

Here's a pic of the real Frank Lloyd Wright (via Wikipedia). Only slightly less scary --

You be the judge!

I think I had a nightmare once where somebody wearing a mask just like this chased me through a Prairie Style house in Oak Park while a John Carpenter composed synthesizer soundtrack played in the background.

I don't think it would look so scary if it had eyes.

The empty, soulless eyes. Yeah. The slight scowl on his face. The fact he's just a disembodied head, too.

Probably couldn't have done much worse if they gave him fangs.

It reminded me of Death Eaters from the Harry Potter movies.

Oak Park, Illinois is home to the world's largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright designed buildings and houses, with 25 structures built between 1889 and 1913. It was in our village that Wright developed and perfected his signature Prairie Style architecture, emphasizing the use of interior light and open spaces in low, earth-hugging buildings. His designs changed the course of 20th century architecture. Many of the Wright houses and buildings in Oak Park and River Forest are registered National Historic Landmarks.
