Completed in 1910, it showcases his Prairie School style with intricate brickwork, stained glass windows, and a cantilevered roof. The 27 rooms maintain Wright's original design while integrating modern amenities like air conditioning, smart TVs, and high-speed Wi-Fi.
Unique Room Designs
Each of the 27 rooms has a distinct layout, featuring handcrafted woodwork, heated bathroom floors, and Lutron lighting. The Historical Suite includes two bedrooms connected by a vintage bathroom with a clawfoot tub. ADA-compliant rooms offer roll-in showers and adjustable features.
