GLESSNER HOUSE MUSEUM

 

This National Historic Landmark was the site of this year’s annual meeting of Landmarks Illinois.

 

The acclaimed residence was designed by noted architect Henry Hobson Richardson and completed in 1887. Its design marked a radical departure from traditional Victorian residential architecture and served as an inspiration to numerous American architects, including the young Frank Lloyd Wright.

 

The house was saved from demolition in 1966 and became the home of numerous nonprofit organizations of the period, including the first offices of the Landmarks Preservation Council (now Landmarks Illinois) in 1971. The building is now operated as the Glessner House Museum.
