  • The Dana-Thomas House

  • Description: The Dana-Thomas House located in Springfield, Illinois, is the best preserved and most complete of Frank Lloyd Wright's early "Prairie" houses. The structure has changed little since its construction in 1902-04 for Springfield socialite and women's activist Susan Lawrence Dana. More than 100 pieces of Wright-designed white oak furniture is still in place along with 250 art glass doors windows and light panels. Two hundred original light fixtures and skylights illuminate the interior. Original sculptures in terra cotta by Richard W. Bock, and the only surviving, original George Mann Niedecken mural in any Wright house graces the four dining room walls.
