In 1901, Isabel Roberts (1871-1955) joined Frank Lloyd Wright’s Oak Park Studio, becoming one of only two women working in his office at the time - the other being the architect Marion Mahony. While historically Roberts was noted as being solely a bookkeeper, caretaker, and office manager for the Oak Park Studio, research shows that she also played an important role in several architectural designs by the Studio, particularly her contributions to the studio’s ornamental glasswork.

In 1908, Wright designed a residence in River Forest, Illinois, for Roberts and her mother, Mary Roberts, from which the present chair originates. The two lived there until 1916, when they relocated to Florida. Following her mother’s passing in 1920, Isabel Roberts co-founded an architectural practice in Orlando with Ida Annah Ryan, the first woman to earn a master’s degree in architecture from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Isabel Roberts remains one of the pioneering women of American architecture and design in the early 20th century.
