During a recent plane trip, I came across a mention of the Dana House in an airline flight magazine. (The Dana House—now known as the Dana-Thomas House—was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright; the maquette of the dining room windows is in the Contrasts exhibit.) While the state of Illinois has owned the property for a number of years and has maintained it for public viewing as a “house museum,” due to budget cuts the state decided to close it as of December 1, 2008.

For more information, go to the website: www.dana-thomas.org; there are great photographs and interesting facts about the history of the house and its owners. In fact, a web search for “Dana Thomas house” led me not only to this site, but several others of interest—some with “virtual tours” of the home.
