About Charnley-Persky House Museum

Experience the unique opportunity to host your next meeting or retreat within a National Historic Landmark crafted by renowned Chicago architect Louis H. Sullivan, in collaboration with Frank Lloyd Wright during their time at Adler & Sullivan between 1891 and 1892.

Nestled in Chicago's esteemed Gold Coast neighborhood, this iconic residence stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. Notably, it's among the rare structures embodying the creative synergy of Sullivan and Wright, hailed as "the first modern house in America" by Wright himself. Inside, guests are greeted by a striking atrium, extending from the ground floor to a magnificent skylight two levels above.

The layout boasts symmetry, with rooms flanking the central atrium on each story. The intricate design elements, both inside and out, mirror Sullivan's passion for organic, flowing motifs blended seamlessly with Wright's innovative interpretations of these patterns.
