B. Harley Bradley House

The House that Changed the Face of American Architecture in 1900. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright


This is the first house Wright designed in the Prairie Style. For the next decade, his commissions were often derived from this plan and included elements first seen all in one location at the B. Harley Bradley House. Following an extensive restoration (2005-08), the B. Harley Bradley House is now appreciated by architecture fans from around the world. The home is sited on one-acre on the banks of the scenic Kankakee River.  Next door is another Wright design, the Hickox House, a private residence. These homes are  the western edge of the Riverview Historic District, an area on the National Registry of historic places with beautiful 19th and 20th century homes on tree-lined streets.

You can now TOUR the B. Harley Bradley House, BROWSE for fine gifts in the Gift Shop or HOST your special event surrounded by the gracious designs of Frank Lloyd Wright.  RENTAL INFORMATION is available by clicking here
