The Oak Park-River Forest Chamber of Commerce offers an extensive virtual tour of the building's interior on their web site. Because the building is not only a great space for worship, but also a great music performance space, it is very popular as a concert venue for such groups as Chicago A Cappella and chamber music ensembles. Revenues from rental of the space for these additional concerts also contribute the temple's preservation. Oak Park's only Wright designed Prairie Style building open to the public on a regular basis. Unity Temple is the only major public building from Wright's early career still in use today.
Tours cover both interior and exterior features of the building.
Photography is permitted on the interior of the building. You will find the sense of the great room coming through . . . Wright's congregation has made few changes to his structure since it completion in 1908 a testament to how well Wright met its needs. Unity Temple, Wright's second attempt at designing a public building, was constructed in a relatively new material for the time, reinforced concrete. When viewed from the front, Unity Temple is symmetrical and formal, almost forbidding.
