Create an itinerary including Frank Lloyd Wright's Allen House
Commissioned in 1916 and completed in 1918, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Allen House is named after its first owners, newspaper publisher Henry Allen and his wife, Elsie. It was the last of the architect’s famous brick prairie houses, which emphasized horizontal lines, earth tones and a continuous blending of interiors with exteriors.



Architectural writers who have visited the house believe its living room is “one of the great rooms of the 20th century.” The home features more than 30 pieces of Wright-designed furniture, all of its original art glass and several new-for-their-time innovations, such as wall-hung water closets and an attached garage. Visit the site that USA Today considers one of the “10 great Frank Lloyd Wright home tours” in the nation.



This beautiful home has been preserved as a museum thanks to the Allen House Foundation.

  • This place is a hidden treasure! You have to book the guided tour in advance, but it’s definitely worth it. You will discover different significance of the architect but also a history of Wichita and college hill neighborhood. Unfortunately it is not allowed to take pictures inside, but that is why you need to go!
  • Beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. Unfortunately the Allen House is closed on Mondays but we could still appreciate the beautiful architecture from the outside. Exceeded all my expectations.
