About
Frank Lloyd Wright, considered to be one of America's greatest architects, designed not only the building itself, but much of the furniture and even individual rooms in the Allen House. The house is named for its first owners, the newspaper publisher and U.S. senator from Kansas, Henry J. Allen, and his wife Elsie. It includes much of the original furniture and architectural elements, having been restored to its 1918–1923 status. It is considered by many as his final prairie-style home.
A great stop for history buffs with an interest in design or architecture. Tours are very interesting, and the guides go into the history of the original Allen family who owned the home.
Know Before You Go
Tours should be booked in advance. Tours are small, private, and guides are happy to customize the tour to your interests since there is so much to talk about as far as the history of the home, its owners, or the details of its architecture and design elements.
