Chicago - Glessner House Museums
|
|
The Glessner House Museums explore Chicago's rich architectural history through exhibits, collections, displays and conservation programs. The first of the two is the Greek Revival Clark House built in 1836. The other, the Glessner House, is the only surviving Richardson building in the Midwest. HH Richardson designed the building, which was completed one year after his death.
