"Set in Oak Park's sprawling Mills Park and designed in 1897 by architect George W. Maher, this home is a National Historic Landmark and the only Maher building open to the public as a museum. While Frank Lloyd Wright is the bigger name, his peer Maher helped usher in the Prairie School of architecture with Pleasant Home's design, helping to influence the blending of oeuvres that defined the style. This 30-room museum showcases late 19-century craftsmanship, from intricate art glass to custom woodwork throughout." - Jessi Roti, Joseph Hernandez
