My husband and I enjoyed a great tour on Father's Day Sunday…read more Suzanne, our interpreter, was very thorough and our tour group was small, consisting of only two other adults--shout out to the couple we met from Downers Grove! The tour was about an hour long and was more about the various families who've lived in the house over the past 110+ years rather than Frank Lloyd Wright himself, which was very interesting. If you're visiting a FLW home, there's a good chance you already know something about him, thus there really isn't need to discuss the architect himself in great detail on this tour. It was sad to hear about the many items original to the house that had been stripped from the walls, etc. and sold over the years. Stained glass windows are still out in the world with various owners, as well as fixtures and furniture, but these items can't be repurchased until the mortgage is paid off. Our interpreter said that Christie's Auctions knows where many of the items are now, so hopefully they can get them back down the road. Another Yelp! reviewer mentioned that some light fixtures and paint colors in the home obviously aren't original and they seemed to be bothered by this. Personally, those cosmetic things didn't matter to me. Upgrades are going to happen over the years. There is a boardroom now, and the home is rented for private parties, weddings, and more. The bills needs to be paid and other sources of income are vital to keeping a home like this open to the public. The $20 per person admission fee felt appropriate to me, given that the entry fee is helping to pay down the last remaining $100k left on the original $1.7million montage. Wow. They've come a long way. Wright In Kankakee (WIK) "is the not-for-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the acquisition and preservation of Frank Lloyd Wright's first prairie style design." All of the volunteers were super friendly and the gift shop had a lot of lovely items for sale. We took a Duffy Electric Boat ride around the Kankakee River afterward. $10 per person for 30 minutes and the ride left from the dock near the Bradley House. All in all, a terrific way to spend and afternoon. Highly recommend.

Just finished a tour of this Frank Lloyd Wright home. Tours run an hour long and cost 15 dollars…read more Recommend a visit! I had a great tour guide all to myself, which was nice as usually there are many people on tours of Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings. There was a bus load of people leaving when I began my tour. Tours are on Friday and the weekend. Friday is probably best to avoid crowds! Beautiful home on the river with a lot of history. Glad it was restored!

The only downside is the organization of the library... there really is a lack of it. Upside is the friendliness & small size.
