Went for a Wednesday tour and was wowed by the docent's knowledge and experience. The house is small but the information is well worth the time. Wednesday tours at 12pm are free but sign up in advance online.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree
I joined a free tour on Wednesday with my 11 weeks baby. They started on time and the guide drove all of us to an exterior and interior tour. 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!
All the people Anne and the guide were super nice and knowledgable.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree
Went to check it out Wednesday at noon since they do a free tour. They started 10min early, so that was surprising and people got turned away who came on time. You'll enter through the patio door not the main door of the house. The tour went by a little slow for me, but I am not really patient. Lots of background information before we even started the tour. There were a few really cool architectural pieces like the wooden stairwell lit by the above skylight but there really isn't too much to see.
Visited the home for a Saturday morning tour. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and provided us with a very interesting and engaging tour. Highly recommend this tour!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
I went on the free tour that they have on Wednesdays and it was an awesome experience. The house is beautiful and full of history, dating back to 1892 if I was listening correctly. It was designed by Louis Sullivan and is full of arches and gorgeous woodworking. It is something that anyone with some free time should come and see.
Jean gave an excellent tour. She knew the Charnley House inside & out, kept her presentation conversational, and fielded questions expertly.
I took the Wednesday tour today and enjoyed stepping back in time at this place. The guide was full of historical knowledge as well as specific facts of this home. Best of all, it was free!
Delightful tour of an intriguing city Home. I quite liked the scale of it!
Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright are major figures in American architecture. Sullivan, Wright's architectural mentor, hired the younger man in 1887 as a draftsman to assist with producing construction drawings for the Auditorium Building 1887–1889 in Chicago. As a junior draftsman, Wright also assisted with residential commissions such as the James Charnley House 1891–1892
