It was 1902 in Victorian Springfield when local socialite and activist, Susan Lawrence Dana, hired a rising young architect from Chicago to remodel her family home. What resulted and remains today is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s finest prairie-style homes, complete with original furniture, art glass doors, windows and light fixtures. The rich history and architectural significance of this elaborately restored residence will add an unforgettable dimension to your tour of historic Springfield. Last tour begins at 3:50pm.
Visitors Center handicapped accessible.
