Good for a short visit.

We walked to here after hours. There is information outside you can read. It was interesting and worth the walk from the hotel to see.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

If it looks like it's not open, go in anyway. Very cool building full of history and well-maintained while keeping its original charm. Park in the underground lot and come up into the OSC.

Front entry to the fabulous Dana-Thomas house. Built by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1902-04 for a local widow. The house has the largest number of FLW built furniture and art glass of any of his remaining properties. Tours are offered and we would highly recommend them as this house is special!
