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.
