The Dana-Thomas House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright from 1902 to 1904 for socialite Susan Lawrence Dana in Springfield, Illinois, is an architectural masterpiece spanning 12,000 square feet with 35 rooms across three main levels. As Wright's first "blank check" commission, it boasts the largest collection of his original art glass and furniture, showcasing his design philosophy through intricate glass doors, light fixtures, and stunning terra cotta sculptures. Dana, a wealthy and progressive woman, invested heavily in transforming her mid-nineteenth-century home, collaborating with colleagues from the Oak Park Studio on the decorative scheme. The house features some of Wright's finest art glass, including the butterfly design above the entry and sumac motifs in the windows, highlighting the intricate artistry of this iconic gem.
