Wonderful piece of significant architectural history and a very informative tour. The inside woodwork, fireplaces, and atrium are original. 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.

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!

Such a gem right in the city on beautiful Astor place. Loved the wood and little details created by Wright and Sullivan. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend visiting this little architectural treasure!

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...

As a junior draftsman, Wright also assisted with residential commissions such as the James Charnley...
