House tours

The house was designed by architect Henry Hobson Richardson and completed in 1887; its original artifacts and family history help interpret life and design across generations. Rental opportunities are available for corporate events and other gatherings. Located on historic Prairie Avenue in Chicago, the museum sits near the Museum Campus and other cultural destinations.
