"Architect Henry Hobson Richardson's 1887 Glessner House paved the way for modern masters Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright , and an American style of architecture. The draw here is the house itself. With a design that may have anticipated the Prairie School, it's a period piece of pattern-competing wall coverings, carpets and furniture—a real trip back in a time." - Elaine Glusac
