Description

IIDA members and guests are invited to attend a self-guided tour of the holiday decorated Dana-Thomas House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1902 for Susan Lawrence Dana. The home, which is the 72nd building designed by Wright, contains the largest collection of site-specific, original art glass and furniture. Wright’s first “blank check” commission, the home has 35 rooms in the 12,000 square feet of living space which includes 3 main levels and 16 varying levels in all.

The Open House is from 5:00-8:00 PM. Please join as us we stroll through this masterpiece!
