About Dana-Thomas House

Frank Lloyd Wright designed this Prairie style home for Susan Lawrence Dana in 1902. The 35-room, 12,000 square foot house holds the largest collection of site-specific, original Wright art glass and furniture, including over 100 custom furniture pieces and about 250 art glass works. Guided tours of up to 15 people climb through 16 different floor levels, and photography is allowed only outside. The state of Illinois runs it as a historic site.
