This place is worth to visit for its peculiar architecture and historical value. Even not a palce for kids, I was welcomed to join and they provided me a room for breastfeeding. Thank you!"

Everything else is new and because there were no early photos - not reproductions. That aside, the design of the interior and exterior spaces reflect both Sullivan and Wright. It’s an amazing synergy- albeit maybe much more Sullivan than Wright. Very much worth going on the tour to see the interior space design."
