- Description:
- "A mature design by renowned architect Henry Hobson Richardson, Glessner House is famous for its site development, innovative floor plan, and rugged Romanesque Revival-style facade. A reminder of what Prairie Avenue looked like when it was home to some of the city's finest mansions, the Glessner House is the only remaining Chicago building by this Boston-based architect. The building was designed for John J. Glessner, an executive with the International Harvester Company. It now contains a house museum." (Source: City of Chicago, Chicago Landmarks website: ) The building was completed a year after the architect's death. See also: the Glessner House Museum site: www.glessnerhouse.org.
